OWL HANDICAP 1400m Track: SOFT |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of speed with Super Express, Megastar Heart and Aerovolanic all pressing on. BABY SAKURA (12) bolted in two back but couldn't repeat the dose last time out when beaten 2L at this track and trips in a solid performance. Ho now hops on board and he continues to shape as a progressive talent on the way through. Can get back to winning ways this time around. SUPER EXPRESS (3) resumes from a short break today, but he has been at the trials three times since his last start. He won his latest heat with Bowman on board and he sticks with the gelding for his return today. Should be up front from the outset and a bold effort is anticipated back out to 1400m. AEROVOLANIC (7) stuck on well in the wet going 27 days ago and has trialled strongly since that effort. Getting back on top of the ground today should suit him better, as will a much better barrier. Can put his best foot forward. PERFECTDAY (9) was too good last time out when finishing off strongly from the back. Building nicely and can't be left out of calculations.
