Race Preview

The draw might send SIXTIES (2) forward this time though he looked brilliant winning from off speed fresh. Has big peaks and wins from the front and the back then, so he is versatile as well as talented and he might catch plenty of these out given how forward he was fresh. SPACE RIDER (3) also returned a winner though not quite as spectacularly as Sixties and he has done this before without really going on with it. That is his challenge now - take his fresh form deeper into the campaign. ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER (6) was never in the race behind him but he is far better suited now. Liked his run in the Stutt in the spring which was won on speed by WEST OF SWINDON (1) who then did too much in both the Guineas and the Carbine Club. If he can set a more even tempo he can give it a big shake. ASAKURA (9) next best.
