2021 THE METROPOLITAN – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Hush Writer and Le Don De Vie should roll forward and dictate. ENTENTE (14) is on the quick back up following a dominant display last weekend in the Colin Stephen. Rates very well off that win and has drawn to get every possible. Should be at his top fourth up and looks very hard to beat.

ZEYREK (20) caught the eye in the Kingston Town Stakes last start and is certainly trending the right way. Very well placed down in the weights and should get a soft run from the draw. Clear danger.

MONTEFILIA (8) could be a question mark at the trip but the stable is very confident, she'll just require a touch of luck from the wide draw. SHE'S IDEEL (12) is in a similar boat but this has always been the Grand Final and she won the lead up in good fashion. Great race.
