    Race Analysis

    USUALLY WRONG (4) showed good early speed last start over this journey at this track (Turf) before finishing second, beaten 2. 75 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. WENDELSSOHN (1) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 1. 5 lengths over 6f here last time. Nice class drop this time. Top chance in this field. HEART HEADED (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 5½f at this track (Turf) with this rider Jose Ortiz engaged. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. One of the main contenders. BEAR RIVER (3) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
