Kenilworth Race 3 - Join The Euphoria Middle Stakes
CONGRESSMAN (7) has good consistent form lines to his credit. He moved up like a winner over 1700m last time when resuming from a spell, before getting outrun late. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome his awkward draw, and he may be hard to peg back. PINOT GRIGIO (4) finished a nose second in his last start over 1950m on this course. He challenged strongly all the way to the line but found one too good on the day. He should run another honest race with Andrew Fortune retaining the ride. SONG TO THE MOON (5) is going well, scoring by a neck two runs back at this track before finishing fourth last time over 1950m at this track. Having his third run this prep and having won in that state previously is well worth considering. WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN (2) finished a close-up fifth last start over 1950m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and rates well as a leading chance.
