What a day of racing and sport. The Vase is one of the great races for the 3yos on the way to the Derby, and one of the greatest days finished off a few years ago with this race and Sacred Elixer. Soft pace predicted for this race, and looking for the strong midfielders with the experienced jockeys that get it done on the big days. Really like the look of Young Werther to take this race out. Unlucky last start, and looks like he needs further. Oliver the experience to get him there. Cherry Tortoni an interesting runner coming back from a big race in Sydney, and looks to give it a shake. Outside of these two, Lunar Fox is hard to knock at the moment, but it just looks like the pattern of the race and on his previous run Young Werther will be too hard to beat. Enjoy the day
Good Luck

RUNNER COMMENTRY
NO | NAME | Comment |
1 | Khoekhoe | Very unfortunate to draw wide, as he looks to be well suited to this race. Looks to work hard to get to mid field, and has the acceleration to be in the finish. Just a risk of being posted wide the trip. |
2 | Lunar Fox | Drawn to suit his racing pattern, and did well in the Guineas. If he can mid field, he has the times to make a charge for the line. |
3 | Cherry Tortoni | Looks very strong, just not sure if he is as well suited to a tighter track. Might need a bit more room to open up. Still, if he can get going early, he will stick it to the leaders late. Just needs to keep in touch early. |
4 | Tanker | Hard to know what to make of what happened in the gates, might happen again. Hard to knock his form though, and looks the leader in this race. Might find it a bit tough late. |
5 | Captain Corelli | Looks the obvious leader, and Zahra has been resulting many of the younger horses. If it’s a slow encounter his chances only grow. |
6 | Young Werther | Tough watch last start, and obviously a very high opinion of this guy. Even when held up he rates highly in this race. Just needs to get away safely and sit midfield. Looks like he makes an early run and will be very hard to beat. |
7 | Johnny Get Angry | Looks to get knocked around early, and the data says he will struggle fro the back. Always puts in an effort. |
8 | Sarodec | Looks to get out well and try to shuffle across. Looks like the middle stages of the race might be tough when the better chances make a move. |
9 | Reliable Lovin’ | Another runner that looks to fly the gate, and ride for luck on a soft speed. Data suggests the later parts of the race will be tough. |
