High Quality 1400m for the 3YOs at HQ. Good field quality for this grade and no real pace to report. You would think every horse will have their chance. Ranting in this race really opens the door for the lesser runners to cop some big weight relief, which makes for an interesting contest. Really like the look of Winsum. Froggy on board, and has had excuses in previous starts. Looks to have the ideal transit position and a turn of foot to work into the race over the final furlong. Really like the stats for Rathlin and Cumberbatch in this race also, with both offering good value to podium. Rathlin particularly strong on the JAT. Ranting of course is the class of this field, but at the weight it will be a task. Sticking with Winsum to return to form.
Good Luck

RUNNER COMMENTRY
| NO | NAME | COMMENT |
| 1 | Ranting | Intriguing that he is running in this race at the weights, but he might just be better than the rest. Decent acceleration, will just need a good transit to be in the finish. |
| 2 | Altai Ranger | Got it wrong with this guy last start, and looks the clear leader. Wouldn’t be surprised if he leads in a hold and is hard to catch. Data says it will get too tough late. |
| 3 | Mark Of The Man | Tough first start after being imported, might be targeted at something else. |
| 4 | Rathlin | Rates well on the SFR and the JAT, and was unlucky last start at this track and distance. Can get it done today. |
| 5 | Cumberbatch | Hasn’t really fired the last few starts, but should be up on the pace and be up front for the sprint. Might be able to hold them out. |
| 6 | Winsum | Been on this guy for a while without any huge return. He is a huge chance in this race to take a nice trail from the inside gate, and get going when it matters. Value tunner of the race. |
| 7 | Celestial Sol | Beware of Waller runners down in weights after poor runs. Doesn’t look to have the speed at this trip, but wouldn’t be surprised. |
| 8 | Field Of Roses | Looks a tough race for him, and will need luck to hold a position from the draw. |
| 9 | Vibrant Glider | Lightly raced and first up, well weighted, and might be in an OK spot at the turn. Stable going OK at the minute, and wouldn’t be a surprise to see this guy in the race late. |
| 10 | Grand Pope | Last start winner but bit of a jump in grade here. Data suggests the early stages of the race will be a test. |
| 11 | Summaroca | Might get out OK and land in a good spot, but the later stages of the race look hard. |
