Fast pace with Director showing out and Red Cardinal crossing to apply some pressure. Lots of these close to getting off the mark. GREEN GLOW (7) has raced twice so far, both at the mile, and has rushed home to finish runner-up at each. Overdue and looks tough to stop. SWORD SPEED (2) started big odds on debut over 1400m and after drifting back to the tail knuckled down strongly to just miss in a photo. Can only be improved so looks tough to stop again. RED CARDINAL (10) ran a better race last time over 1400m to place and looks well suited now out to a mile. Worth following up. DIRECTOR (6) placed three on end last campaign, the latest this course and distance. Bold showing expected fresh.
