GOING:

Race 5 1500m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Mr King probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. WING GRANDEUR (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1500m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is expected to feature. RAKAN (10) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but ended up second over 1400m at this track. Has a solid second-up record and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Leading chance on best form. MR KING (8) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good third over 1500m at this track last time. Worth including. RED ADAM (2) was sixth over 1500m at this track at his latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
