GOING: G

Race 3 1500m

Track: GOOD      

Kenilworth, Ambassador and Rayel can set a genuine tempo. KENILWORTH (12) didn't do a bad job after being in contention on the corner to finish half a length away in second last start over 1500m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. AMBASSADOR (3) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last three starts, the latest win coming over 1500m at this track. Comfortable winner last time and expected to be in the finish again. ALPHA WINDSOR (8) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1700m at this track, beaten one length. Nicely placed to go one better. KEW RAMBLER (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Minor chance.
