SELECTIONS: NIGHT FLIGHT (4), POPPY POPSTAR (2), WHY NOW (5), JAKARTAﾠ(7)
OVERVIEW: NIGHT FLIGHT (4) is in terrific form and performs well at this track. He has great gate speed and was a good winner last start. This is a little harder, but he continues to improve. POPPY POPSTAR (2) doesn’t have the strongest numerical form, but she has nice ability on her day. She should find the fence early and gets a good opportunity here. WHY NOW (5) is a lightly raced trotter having his sixth career start, but he appears to be a progressive type. He does have his quirks and is still learning what racing is all about, so there are some question marks over where he maps here. He does have the best sectional times in this event. JAKARTA (7) has been a little unlucky recently but is racing well. His main rivals have better barriers, which makes things tricky for him here.
BACK: NIGHT FLIGHT (4) – 2 units (win)
