Sportingbet B.D. Prelude-C&G (G3)

Age: 2yo Sex: CG Type: OPEN

Of The Brave raced a bit keenly outside the leader (Kirabo) and went to the front on turning for home and grabbed a clear break at the 200m. He then tired after his early efforts, just lasting to win in a photo but it was a good first-up effort, nevertheless. Attractive colt Pride Of Dubai was ridden patiently and raced in about tenth place, wide with cover. He switched deep on turning for home and put in a strong run from the 200m for an impressive late-closing second, failing narrowly in a good trial for the Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m). Sampeah did not show much early pace and raced near the tail of the field to the home turn. He switched wide nearing the 200m and then made up considerable late ground to take third. It was a very promising effort, also looking suited to further. Top Me Up was quickly away from his wide barrier (11) then eased to get a good trip in fourth place. He got to second nearing the 100m and fought well for a sound (3 lengths) fourth. Braccenby was midfield on the rails and battled on quite well for (3.8 lengths) fifth. Call Me Anything caught the eye, making late ground for (4.2 lengths) sixth, looked suited to longer.
