RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Hard to go past HOWDY MATE (12) after his first-up win at Melton a fortnight ago where he defeated six rivals that reoppose here. A top-end juvenile in 2025, Jess Tubbs’ charge stepped out for his first run as a three-year-old and rounded them up from the back. The margin wasn’t great, however, with CLAUDYS HERO (11) carting him up on the three-wide line and only being beaten 1.4m. He stepped out again last weekend and was badly held up on the fence before charging late to just miss Kyvalley Jetstream. He was awfully unlucky and can certainly turn the tables. MERCENARY (3) is a very hard horse to catch, but battled on well first-up when fourth in the Charlton Trotters Cup and Jackie Barker might try to lead this contest. He could be one at odds for trifectas and First 4s. MITCHELL WRAP (8) was good behind HOWDY MATE (12) and was grabbed right on the line by Bennie And The Jets last weekend when looking the winner.
