Not knowing A320, but I assume Auto Speed Brakes also depend on WoW sensor logic.
Anyway, at ~1.3NM they just slowed down to ~160KIAS! That's roughly at 8000ft of the available 11,100ft of 25L. From there its speed accelerated again, as Go around was initiated.

Of course it's a nogo-around after Thrust Reverser, but this case here is so outside the norm that it really doesn't matter.

(Sorry, as newbe writing this might appear much later in the thread)
not really surprised it took them that long to slow. At that speed and configuration, the wing was still supporting most of the weight.
