No real interest or thoughts in the Everest so thought we’d do this race instead. Looks to be speed through COMPELLING TRUTH, FRONT PAGE and ELSON BOY to name a few. Should be a fair run race.
FRONT PAGE– Was 3rd in a G1 fresh last prep and makes a habit of winning these type of races. Has won this two years in a row and a short priced fave to make it a hat-trick. Draws perfectly, gets James McDonald taking the ride, handles all conditions and trialled like a bomb. Bloody hard to beat again.
FAR TOO EASY- Screaming to win a big race and is a horse that’s had no luck with draws in big races. Draws gate 1 this time and had Williams riding. Fresh run over 1000m was unsuitable but a good effort. Trialled like a bomb the other day and ready to go now. Liked the fact they sat on speed in the trial and that makes me think they might sit closer here.
BOOM TORQUE– Bomb proof this bloke. Tactically versatile and comes here off a 3rd placing in a G2. Rawiller is a great booking, inside gate is a plus and looks to be very well placed. Soft ground would be fine, heavy would be my only little query if it come to that.
*They are the three that look the winning hopes to me
