GOING: G

MOUNT BUTLER HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Good pressure from the outset with Wah May Wai Wai, The Way We Win and Manythanks Forever taking up the running over Telecom Power and Smart Trio. TELECOM POWER (6) rates highly on the back of his latest effort where he was a 0.5L off the winner at this track and trip last time out. He jumped the race favourite there from an inside barrier and only just missed. Can negotiate the wide alley and get the job done. WAH MAY WAI WAI (9) missed by 3L two back before a 0.5L defeat over this course and distance last time out, hitting the line alongside Telecom Power. The inside draw this time is a big tick and that formline looks the strongest coming into this. Drops in weight off that effort and can land the knockout blow. FAMILY FORTUNE (3) is in good order, flying home his past couple on soggy tracks, the most recent at Sha Tin. Back on top of the ground today should suit and he boasts a strong record at this track and trip. Leading chance. SETANTA (2) missed in a photo finish last time out and can be flying home once again from the wide draw.
