SHA TIN AW   31 May 2025
 
GOING: G

PENFOLD PARK HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Telecom Fighters. TALENTS AMBITION (11) flew home over this track and trip 21 days ago to miss out by 0.8L in easier company. He put up a strong figure there however and now drops 8.5kg for the rise in grade. He loves this track and trip and maps for a decent run from the gate. Can get back to winning ways. SOLEIL FIGHTER (6) gets the winkers on for the first time today following a narrow defeat over this trip at Happy Valley most recently. He is a winner on this surface previously and Purton sticking is a big push for his chances. Rolls forward and will give a bold sight. CALIFORNIATOTALITY (2) made it back-to-back wins with a 0.3L victory over Soleil Fighter last start at Happy Valley. He's only race don this surface once, but his pattern suggests he's suited by the way these races are run. Sure to be strong to the line. NOISY BOY (7) is right back in trip but did place at G3 level last start highlighting his class. Watch for him late.
