GOING: G

POSITIVE AGEING 1650M HANDICAP 1650m

Track: STANDARD      

Pace genuine with All Riches and G Liner pressing hard closely followed by Cordyceps One and Mayhem. GALVANIC (1) ran home strongly over this track and trip to miss by 1L last start and looks to have found a similar set up. Ellis Wong claims 4.5kg again and with a touch more luck going his way, he can go one better. G LINER (6) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start when back on the turf course, fading out of the lead to be beaten 2.5L. Karis Teetaan hops back in the saddle this time and he should press on to lead from the alley. Will take plenty of catching. KYRUS UNICORN (12) drops back to the 1650m journey where he's been successful previously. He's racing well without winning of late and if they overdo it up front, he can be storming home at the finish. STARSHIP EIGHTY (10) rattled home last start and draws a much better gate this time with Ho taking the ride. Right in the mix.

Can go on with the job now.
