GOING: G

ISLE OF MAN HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD
Expecting a strong gallop with Super Axiom and Cheval Valiant taking up the running over Ruby Sailing. It's hard not to be impressed by the trials of BOTTOMUPTOGETHER (5) who makes his debut today. Could've gone to the Griffin race but in stead lands here which is a big push for his chances. Looks to have his share of ability and can make a winning start to his career. RUBY SAILING (12) is still chasing his maiden victory but is never far away. He only just missed here 21 days ago and and is knocking on the door of his maiden win. Can be right in the finish again. TAIHANG SCENERY (6) is another debutant, this time for Bowman and Danny Shum. He too has trialled well and it's interesting to not that Purton rode him in trials, but will ride a different horse in this race. Wide draw suits down the straight though and it wouldn't surprise to see him win. CHEVAL VALIANT (1) can take up the running and prove hard to catch back in grade.
