GOING: S(6)

2025 STUD AND STABLE STAFF AWARDS HANDICAP 1900m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.34)  

Frankly Elegant has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BARAZIN (4) improving gelding starting to put it all together. Scored a slick win at Kembla Grange two runs back, then back in trip and up in grade with a hard-fought fifth to Our Anchorage over 1800m at Randwick Kensington. Can park just off the speed and finish over the top of them. FRANKLY ELEGANT (5) improving Frankel mare with a good record this track and trip. Indicated a win was imminent after sitting on the good tempo when second over 1800m at Randwick Kensington. Tim Clark will take control early and prove hard to run down. GO TROPPO (2) has struggled in four runs back and go on his unlucky second to The Englishman five runs back over this track and trip. Can add value to the exotics. STAR LEGACY (9) drops further in weight and like the way he attacked the line late when fourth over 1550m here on January 17. Can race in a more forward position and figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Barazin and Frankly Elegant to fight it out.
