    Race Analysis

    EMBRACE MY UNCLE (5) scored when resuming two starts ago then was well fancied last time but could only manage fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. EL CHISPAZO (3) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0. 3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt). This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. THE BEST DISTANCE (8) has switched yards since scoring by 0. 3 lengths at this track over 1m1/2f on February 1. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TRIPLE PASS (4) finished fourth last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Worth including.
