GOING: G

CARPENTER HANDICAP 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Strong pace from Dragon On Snow and Riding Together matching motors with Packing Glory close at hand. PACKING GLORY (11) is an exciting horse on the rise, missing narrowly two back before a 2.5L defeat over 1200m last time out. Out to 1400m now, but that doesn't look an issue and he maps to get every chance from the draw. Can continue to work his way through the grades. MIGHTY MASTS (2) was only 1.5L away two back before not featuring over the mile last time out when rising to the mile. Back to this track and trip suits and Purton remains in the saddle which is a good push for her chances. Can bounce back to winning ways. GHORGAN (8) bounced back last time out and when returning to this track and trip in a strong performance for a race of this calibre. The wide draw is a query, but with some luck in running he can get over the top of them late. RIDING TOGETHER (1) was too good from the front last time out and will take catching again for DBM.
