Moderate pace from Brick Yard taking it up with Rodelinda and T M Kamikaze on his back. VAINQUEUR KNIGHT (1) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 0.8 lengths last start over this course and distance. Sure to take some stopping again. T M KAMIKAZE (4) was well held in tougher company two runs back then last time sat on the pace and stuck on well to score over 1300m at this track. Among the leading players again. RODELINDA (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. BRICK YARD (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Sure to give a sight.
