Race of the Day Preview / Timeform / 27 October 2009 / Leave a comment

Eight go to post for this one at Southwell on Tuesday afternoon. Timeform talk us through their respective chances.

"Strike Up The Band is a front runner who has been holding his form this season, running well in the face of a stiff task in the Abbaye last time. He won't get his own way in the lead here but should still be there come the end."

Turn On The Style nearly always gives his running on the All Weather and can make a successful return from eight months off at the expense of Strike Up The Band and Rowe Park.

Doubtful Sound was an improved sprinter last winter, and presumably has a similar campaign on the agenda this time. It has been a while since he ran on fibresand (never won on the surface) and he may just come on for the outing.

Pawan is a tough but lazy hold-up performer who wins in his turn. He has run above himself in similar events in the past, but not worth considering for win purposes.

Rowe Park won on his only previous visit here and a repeat of a couple of his efforts this year, notably when behind Kingsgate Native in the Audi Stakes, would see him go close.
Exclamation is a lightly-raced sprinter who shaped really well in a listed race at Newmarket on his reappearance, but hasn't built on it. He needs to prove both his well-being and his ability to act on fibresand here.

Strike Up The Band is a front runner who has been holding his form this season, running well in the face of a stiff task in the Abbaye last time. He won't get his own way in the lead here but should still be there come the end.

Turn On The Style is a front-running speedster with an excellent strike rate on the all-weather. He has not been seen since February, but has gone well fresh in the past, and may have just enough class to see this out.

Excellerator has just her debut success here to her name and has not gone on from her reappearance this term, albeit seen out only twice since. Remains to be seen if a return to Southwell revives her.

Loose Caboose took advantage of a reduced mark with wins over course and distance and at Doncaster in May. She produced a good effort on her first run for four months here last time but looks outclassed in this.
