Kempton Park Race 2 - Virgin Bet Interactive Handicap
SOUTHERN WARRIOR (1) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at Newcastle and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Will go close today. ZOUSTAR DREAMS (3) First up after a break. Advanced late into 5th last time at Chelmsford but stepping up to a higher level. Blinkers go on for the first time. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. ESCAPE PLAN (2) Not in contention when 7th last start at Lingfield. Should improve here and drawn the rails. Trainer has gone for the tongue tie on, take note. Can figure in the finish. STANIEL CAY (5) Basic showing when 5th last run at Lingfield but can find a nice position from the draw. Needs to lift.

Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at Newcastle and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should come to hand quickly. Will not be far away.

Was $4.50 and looked flat when 7th last start at Lingfield. Should improve here and has the ideal stall. Tongue tie on could be an important change. Strong claims.

Back after a spell. Jumped at $2.20 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last time at Chelmsford but facing formidable rivals. Will be in the finish.

Resuming after a spell. Tailed off to finish 4th last start at Southwell and racing in stronger company. Trainer has gone for the ear muffs on, take note. Needs too much luck.
