Kempton Park Race 2 - Unibet/Breeders Backing Racing Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
MERCANTILE (6) was gelded prior to making a satisfactory debut at Southwell three weeks ago. Will have learned plenty from that experience and should play a major role on this second outing. VENETIAN SKY (12) brings experience. Produced a personal best at Leicester last month when runner up. Not to be taken lightly as sets the standard. SEA BRAVE (9) made a promising start to his career finishing second both attempts. No reason to suggest another bold show shouldn't be expected. ASSIRI HEIGHTS (3) wears a tongue strap for the first time however could be better in handicaps further down the line.

Second run back. First-up after four months 5th of 12 at this track on August 5 over 2200m, 33 len behind Fortitudine with 63kg at $81. Previously second-up 18th of 20 in the G2 Champion Standard Open NH Flat Race at Aintree on April 11 over 3400m, 98 len behind Forthfactor carrying 71.5kg at $151. Can't recommend.
