5:05am - CONCORDE STAKES | 1000m | Group 3 | i

A closely-fought 1000m dash. BALL OF MUSCLE has the early speed to take up the lead and the class to hang on. He's built up a very consistent record overall and the 59kg shouldn't be too much of an impost for the strapping son of Dubawi. CRAFTINESS and ATMOSPHERICAL are the biggest dangers, both short-course specialists that can have trialled well. It's a big test for FELL SWOOP (up in class) and SHIRAZ (back to 1000m), while UNANIMOUSLY and HAPPY GALAXY have a knock-out hope if they are 'wound up' in the yard.
