RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: This looks like an even contest where a case can be made for most horses in the field. It is difficult to narrow the chances down to just four runners. TO THE NINES (1) is a versatile horse who can race tough and make his own luck. He has notably the best sectional times in this event. The in-form KING SAINT (2) drawn to his inside has brilliant gate speed, so TO THE NINES (1) may end up shuffled back on the fence. GALAXY LASS (4) hit the line well for fourth last start in a race won by the talented colt MOST EXCITING. She is often racing in Saturday night company at Melton and has a great turn of foot. She has had only two starts on this track for a win and a nice placing. FRUGAL FARE (9) is the talented, flashy grey who is racing well and follows through a fast beginner, so he should map well here. IDEAL BANDIT (8) has been racing well and boasts a strong record of 14 starts for six wins. He was unlucky last start, but may again face bad luck from the inside back-row barrier. Also respecting the talented LAMBRO MACH (3) here.
