GOING: G

WONG CHUK HANG HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Golden Luck. Happy to put UNISON (6) on top in what looks a relatively weak race. He's a 5YO on debut, so suspect he has had some issues, but he's looked good at the trials this time in work. He draws a good barrier for Brenton Avdulla who has ridden him in his last two trials. Can make a winning start to his career. HAPPY TRIO (2) was only fair on resumption here a week ago, beaten a long way behind an impressive winner. Teetan remains in the saddle though and this does look to suit much better. Wouldn't be surprised to see plenty of improvement out of him. SO TREASURE (7) disappointed toward the back end of last campaign after being narrowly beaten on two occasions here. He was given a quiet trial recently and the blinkers come off for today's task. Still has upside and is not to be discounted. HAPPY SOUL (3) can be running on strongly from the back.
