GOING: G

GLENEALY HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine pace with Forever Glorious finding the front from his low draw. MR ALADDIN (8) got a long way back last start and never really featured, finishing 4L off the winner. He's been back to the trials since where Purton was on board and he remains in the saddle today. Better than what he showed last start and he's the one to beat if he gets back to his prior form. KYRUS UNICORN (10) rattled home from a long way back last time out and steps out to the 1800m journey yet again. He maps for a much better run this time around and the form out of his last start has already been franked. Racing well and now gets his chance to salute. FLYING SILVER (6) got the job done over this course and distance last time out, winning by 0.8L. He's won 4/9 at this course and distance previously and Chung takes some weight off again. Won't be far away. PEGASUS GENERAL (3) can bounce back stepping out in trip after a disappointing effort last time out.
