BOWEN HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace evident with Celestial Colours and Kaholo Angel leading the way from Lucky Archangel and Joy Coming. CELESTIAL COLOURS (1) has built an impressive record early in his career. He was a good winner two back before failing at this track and trip most recently. Since been freshened and he trialled like a bomb recently. Bowman hops back in the irons and he's expected to get back to winning ways. WINGS OF WAR (4) is some 942 days between wins, but his recent form suggests a drought breaking win isn't far away. He looks to get the run of the race from barrier four and Bentley has been close to winning on him in recent efforts. His best form has him more than capable of getting the job done. CAPTAIN WIN (9) was only grinding away late in the race last time out after flashing home his two runs prior. Expect him to be further back in the run today and if they go too hard up front, he'll be smoking the pipe out the back and having the last laugh. ACT OF FAITH (7) should appreciate stepping back up to this trip and looks an improver.
