GRASSY HILL HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Tsuen Wan Glory should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. NOBLE DELUXE (3) drops back to Class 5 for the first time today as he begins the new season and has only been tested at this track and trip twice. His recent trial was very sound whilst under a hold from Orman who sticks with the gelding today. Looks well placed and can start the season on a winning note. YOU'REMYEVERYTHING (12) ended last season with a narrow defeat as a $6 chance at Happy Valley. He doesn't boast the best record at this track and trip, though he rates highly off his last start figure and a repeat of that performance will see him go close. ORIENTAL SURPRISE (4) has looked good at the trials in readiness for his return after surprising at big odds in a similar race at The Valley 102 days ago. Draw is a little tricky, but if he can run up to his latest effort then he'll be there at the pointy end. SPEEDY SMARTIE (9) can pick up where he left off last campaign with a solid trial under his belt.
