GOING: G

HALLASAN HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Off the inside draw Precision Goal should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. LOYAL AMBITION (7) may not have run out the extra trip last time out when falling back to be beaten 4.3L. He was in good form over this course and distance prior and he draws the best gate he's seen for a while. Vincent Ho hops back in the saddle and he'll bounce back in a big way. PRECISION GOAL (8) faded badly over this distance on the all weather course, but that was his first attempt at this trip and he had to do it tough. He looks to get an economical run this time and his prior form suggests he should be right in the finish of a race like this. DIAMOND WINNER (9) is still looking for his maiden victory and has been right in the market his past two despite finishing a long way off. He's better than he's shown his past couple and he's in with a chance if he can recapture his best form. FOXHUNTER WAY (10) is on the quick back up and out in trip today. Worth including.
