GOING: G

MOUNT CAMERON HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

No noted leader but Big Red, Excel Wongchoy and United Endeavors will be prominent. STRONGEST BOY (6) backed up his winning effort two back with a narrow defeat over this course and distance 28 days ago. He's been up to Conghua and trialled since then, with Purton in the irons once more. Ticks plenty of boxes and he's the one to beat if he can run up to his latest effort. JUMBO LEGEND (3) was only 1L away as favourite here 21 days ago and rates well off that effort. Vincent Ho does the steering this time and he's won twice when in the saddle. Can sit back off the speed and come with a withering burst in the straight. UNITED ENDEAVORS (10) was a long way back on straightening but got the job done here ahead of Jumbo Legend. He meets his rivals worse at the weights, but Yeung knows him well and he's sure to be finishing off strongly once again. TURIN WARRIOR (8) was too far back to challenge last start and now draws a much better gate. Wouldn't surprise to see him end his winning drought.
