broke well, raced in 2nd, took closer order 4f out, challenge going well over 1f out, quickened to lead well inside final furlong, cleverly
soon led and set good pace, ridden over 1f out, driven and headed well inside final furlong, not pace of winner
The most valuable race on the card has cut up disappointingly with just two contenders in what will prove to be a tactical contest. Calcutta has been in excellent heart of late but is best when held up in a strongly run race and is likely to struggle in today's contest. Wannabe Around has been facing stiff tasks in valuable handicaps and has to overcome a near two-month absence but is a confirmed front runner who will prove hard to peg back so gets the TEAMtalk nod.
