Strong Field Quality for this year’s Tramway, and a great field assembled with some big names. All the attention on the favourite Zaaki, but looking to some other runners who are better suited to the trip and have the required turn of foot. Rock and Lion’s Roar look very strong from the rear of the field and have drawn well to suit their racing styles. Another interesting runner is Dreamforce, with Rawiller on board, who is a massive 20.5% to win on the Jockey Analysis Tool (JAT). when leading in these races. You can see Zaaki coming over the top of them all late with the long straight, but just from the draw first up it might not all go his way needing to come wide. Rock has a great 2nd up record, and has the ideal draw to do no work in transit and get a nice position. Given Zaaki’s numbers and price, sticking with Rock to get the job done at odds. Looking for Dreamforce and Lion’s Roar to be the other runners to run a good race.
Good Luck

RUNNER COMMENTRY
| NO | NAME | COMMENT |
| 6 | Rock | Awkward draw and might get pinned back on the fence. Has the late acceleration to fly home in this race, and he has a very strong turn of foot. Can roll the odds on, value runner of the race. |
| 2 | Dreamforce | Rawiller is a whopping 20.5% to win when leading in these races on the JAT. Should have no problem getting out of the gate, and will have every chance to hold on late in the race. Great odds to run a drum. |
| 8 | Prime Star | Solid performer, but done no favours with the draw. Danger is being posted, and doesn’t have the turn of foot to recover from there if he is. |
| 10 | All Saints’ Eve | Looks to take up the running at the rear, but does have a decent turn of foot to get into the race later. Just might burn it early. |
| 3 | Lion’s Roar | Very strong runner that finished his last prep with a bit of disappointment. Looks to work into the race late from an early dash for the line. If he shows up, his best can go close here. Value. |
| 1 | Zaaki | Obvious favourite, with the top rated jockey in the race in J Mac. Doesn’t actually have the turn of foot in this field to match some of the more suited short course horses. Expect to see him in the finish, but too short for my attention. |
| 5 | Star Of The Seas | Decent performer that can pump a solid time. Just not sure about this trip in a field this strong if he falls out the back early. |
| 7 | Man Of Peace | Looks the leader ahead of Dreamforce, and has an OK turn of foot. Just doesn’t look like he will be strong enough to hold out the calvary at the back. |
| 4 | Shout The Bar | Loved her work last Spring, and not expecting a lot out of her first up here. Would like to see her get out OK and finish well, but not her race to win. |
| 9 | Aramayo | No favours with the draw, and looks to run and even time throughout the race. Might find it tough from the turn for home. |
