GOING: G

SUSTAINABILITY 1400M HANDICAP 1400m Track: STANDARD
Sizzling pace from the outset from Smart City, Fun Together and Amazing Duck locking horns ahead of Satirical Fan and Oriental Tycoon. MAGNIFICENT NINE (4) closed off strongly from the back of the pack to finish just 1L off the winner last time out. He's had a tick over trial since then and gets the blinkers on first time as Purton hops back in the irons. Drawn a much better gate this time and can turn the tables on PATCH OF THETA (3) who had the tactical advantage last start. He too has been back to the trials since posting back-to-back wins and the booking of Bowman is worth noting. Nicely drawn again and can score the hat-trick without surprising. SKY HEART (14) was beaten as favourite last time out and now rises into C3 again. He's won a trial since his latest effort and his prior form suggests he's not out of this. Blinkers on first time and he can give a bold sight down in the weights. BEAUTY MISSILE (11) is ticking along nicely and won't be far away again.
