GOING: G(4)

HYLAND RACE COLOURS HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: +3m Entire Course.  

Strong tempo with Comic Culture and Percolate leading the way over Crusader Voyage. CRUSADER VOYAGE (1) returns to Sydney for Waller after a couple of good runs in Melbourne to launch this prep. Ridden up on the speed last start and did well to hold on for second, beaten under a length, over the mile at Sandown. That form should hold up strongly. O'SHEAMUS (8) is fitter following two runs back from a spell and needs this trip. COSMIC CULTURE (4) showed good improvment second up at Kembla Grange. Can take another step in the right direction third up and out to the mile. PERCOLATE (9) hasn't made an impact yet but gets out in trip now. Carries nothing on her back after the 2kg claim. Might be one to monitor closely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Crusader Voyage.
