GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Smile Brocken to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ACCOLADE (9) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third over 1300m at this track. Talented type who is among the leading hopes. SMILE BROCKEN (2) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten a head as favourite. Can go one better. LEGENDIZE (6) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1300m at this track when he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. MISCHABEL (3) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Well placed and can repeat the dose.
