OVERVIEW: Trotting races often bully you into a position where you’re forced to choose between talent and professionalism and this race is no different. If there was a Family Feud questionnaire on which the most gifted animal engaged here then 100 respondents would nominate ALEPPO MURPHY (9). In fact he is so good that the 2019 ID would be squarely on his radar. The issue for punters is whether they’re willing to take the shorts about a horse that trots to the beat of his own drum but if he runs a trouble free race there’s little doubt he will salute. If you’re a risk-taker by nature and you want to pot the fave then PIZZA QUEEN (3) looks a reasonable option as she should find the early advantage though DELTASUN (4) can also win if he finds his mojo tonight. The race doesn’t even end there with DERRIE AIRE (5), ROCK TONIGHT (11) and NO REPUBLIC (2) also worth consideration for those with a deathly fear of missing out on the early Quad.
