GOING: G

CHATHAM HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD      

They look to roll along early with Packing Turbine and Packing Hurricane leading the charge. FAMILY JEWEL (2) was a very impressive winner fresh up over a mile only a week ago and steps straight up to a middle distance. He has been placed over this trip in his only attempt, so there will be no query as to his getting the trip. He has to carry 3.5kg more, but can repeat the dose. ENTHRALLED (3) had no luck at all when trapped wide over a mile here 3 weeks ago over 1800m. He will relish the extra furlong and only needs to find some cover early on to be a winning threat in this. PACKING TURBINE (6) just came to the end of his run late when finishing a game fourth here over 1800m last time out. He did well to finish as close as he did that day after travelling wide. Zac Purton sticks with him, and so do we. GOLD MASTER (9) was only beaten by a nose in his first run in this company 3 weeks ago. He is bred to have no trouble coping with 2000m and should continue to progress this season. With some luck from a wide draw, he can win a race like this.
