SPRUCE HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Riding Together can take up the running. SKY JOY (1) was too good here last start when scoring by 0.5L to continue his way through the grades. He's since trialled quietly to keep him up to the mark and he showed he had good early speed from the wide draw last start. Needs some luck again, but he looks a horse destined for better races. DO YOUR PART (7) sat on the speed and couldn't be caught last start when winning by 1L at this track and trip. Can take up the running again from the inside barrier and he drops in weight today with the rise in grade. Racing in top order and can play a leading role once again. MASTER OF ALL (2) is hard to knock on his recent form, going under in a photo finish most recently. The wide draw is a query, but he loves this track and trip and he rates highly on his recent form. THE RED HARE (14) has trialled well since his latest effort behind a smart one and can't be discounted down in the weights.
