GOING: G

MOUNT BUTLER HANDICAP 2200m

Track: SOFT      

A genuine pace is expected with Go Go Go, Golden Fairy and Leather Master rolling along early. MR ALADDIN (9) got a long way back his past couple but has been hitting the line full of running, going under as the favourite most recently. He was placed at this track and trip back on March 5 and he now gets Purton in the saddle. Still searching for his maiden win but this looks a very suitable race. GOLDEN FAIRY (10) disappointed two back here, though got himself back on track with a 0.8L defeat most recently at Sha Tin. He comes in off a similar prep with two trials between and he'll be up on the speed from an inside alley. Will take plenty of catching. LEATHER MASTER (11) is racing well at the shorter distances recently, beating Mr Aladdin two back before a 1L defeat most recently, both over 1800m. He'll need a touch of luck from the wide alley, and if he handles the rise in trip he'll be right in the finish on recent form. GO GO GO (2) jumps up to 2200m now where he's placed at both attempts. Can play a major role.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on May 14 over 1800m, 1.0 len behind Kingly Demeanor carrying 55.5kg at $4.40. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at this track April 23 over 1800m defeating Mr Aladdin carrying 52.5kg at $9.40. Certainly worth another chance.
