Windsor Race 1 - Fitzdares Handicap
IMPERIAL CULT (5) recorded a winning debut for George Baker when making all to deliver a 1.25L success under Neil Callan at Lingfield. Further progress expected and he can gain a double. The consistent SEVENTY (3) made it two in six for the Ross Burdon stable when getting up late securing a head victory at the track earlier in the month. Key player stepping up in trip. MREMBO (6) has two wins attempting the journey including at this circuit. Nicely treated on figures and makes plenty of appeal for an in-form yard. OPERA WAVE (1) may strip fitter for her Kempton reappearance and must enter calculations second-up.

Second-up. First-up after six months 5th of 7 at Kempton Park All Weather on May 4 over 2400m, 11 len behind Dojin carrying 57kg at $12. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Newmarket (July) on June 27 over 1600m, 14 len behind Azaniya with 58kg at $17. Will benefit from that run and is worth including.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 10 at this track on May 11 over 2300m, 4 len behind Sibling Rivelry with 59.5kg at $7. Before that 3rd of 9 at Bath on May 4 over 2300m, 3.5 len behind Virtual Hug carrying 58.5kg at $4.50. Finds a nice race and should be very competitive.
