The times from yesterday are hard to work out,as this the best race on the card should've been a lot quicker than the other 7f races,putin rated 62 was only .16 slower in the class 6 the maiden was only .28 slower and frankthetank was only .57 slower in the seller.Looking art those times you would think the pace must've collapsed yet in all 7f races the pace held up,i havn't looked at the sectionals I don't have time and rarely benefits although might be worth checking out why these races were so similar.It suggests putins run way above hios mark as 6yr old which seems unlikely and the sellers time is to close as well.Just looking at the bare form of two moons race though looks solid,piceno has been running some of his best ever form and repetition has been improving andf two moons looked well handicapped as well so the whole race looks solid.That being the case then the run of intrepid off 71 on first run for ian Williams looks encouraging,doesn't have a great profile but still only the 11 lifetime runs.Was out the back and jock decided to come stands side which may or may havenot cost him the race.He was finishing strongly at finish,although looking at his run up the straight looked to be carrying his head high,if that's the case then was even better run.He maybe worth following back at swell this could be his surface another drop of a pound and can even drop in grade,the form looks solid and he might just be a bit of value as potentially could still improve!!
