GOING:

IRRIDESCENCE STAKES 1500m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Expect to see the youngsters hit the ground running. ENTICEMENT (8) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the corner over 1200m at Kenilworth, beaten a neck. That followed a win at Kenilworth the start prior. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be underestimated. GRAPES OF WRATH (1) wasn't far away first up last start when fourth over 1200m in stakes class at Kenilworth. May appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. FOG IN FINLAND (5) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 1200m at Kenilworth, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Kenilworth the start prior. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. CHINWAG (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1400m at Kenilworth, beaten 2.5 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance.
