Race Preview

KNOBELAS (9) is an exciting filly who has led and bolted in with her past two starts. They gave her an easy time in front at Sandown Hillside but she sprinted away to win by 3.5 lengths in some sharp late splits. Gets in on the minimum, draws ideally and should measure right up. KALKALLO (1) is off 49 days for this and up in trip which is some query but is racing in fine form of late, putting up consistent numbers in good races. The stable will have kept him fit and he draws to track the speed. FROM A DISTANCE (6) is a nice type who hit the line well behind an in-form Taken here last time out. Expecting that form to hold up well. DARKBONEE (10) worked home well in the Taken race to grab third and should be hard to hold out. SANTA ANA MOON (2) won at big odds last time and 1600m should suit.
