GOING: G

AMETHYST HANDICAP 1400m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Riding Together finding the front from his low draw. MONARCH COUNTY (10) absolutely hosed up last start with the blinkers coming coming off, building into the race and putting them to the sword. Moreira remains in the saddle and his recent trial was very solid. Drops in weight for the rise in grade today and he can repeat the dose. RED MAESTRO (11) was right in the market last start but ended up 2L off the winner after settling midfield. Purton now hops on board after a quiet trial between runs and he still has plenty of upside. Has shown glimpses since arriving in Hong Kong and he can put it all together now. ALL'S WELL (6) is racing in top order, doing it on good and wet ground his past couple. The map today is favourable for him and he drops in weight despite his strong last start effort. Sure to be in the finish again. COOL BOY (3) is not to be discounted on his recent form and can make his presence felt.
