CHUKYO HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Gallant Crown leading while Highland Rahy and Wah May Wai Wai also press. HIGHLAND RAHY (3) was too good from the front here 21 days ago, leading throughout to win by 0.8L. He faces a similar set up now and he draws to be prominent off the inside. Can sit up on the speed and if he runs up to his recent ratings, he'll take plenty of catching. PRESTIGE GOOD (1) dropped back in trip last start and was only 1.3L off the winner at this track. He was also back in grade there and he ran a much better race. He's turned in a nice trial since then and with a touch of luck from the barrier, he'll make his presence felt. MIDORI FUJI (4) hasn't been far away in recent efforts over this course and distance and rates highly through those events. He's drawn a bit sticky, but if he can run up to his form he looks well placed in this event. VIVA CHALEUR (10) is on the quick turnaround today and is better than he showed last time out. Can bounce back to form with Purton on board.
