Happy Valley   27 Nov 2024
 
GOING: G

CRAMOND ISLAND HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD     Out 11 metres  

Plentiful, Happy Horse and Diamond Soars to take up the running at a decent tempo. SPEEDY FORTUNE (2) disappointed last start over this track and trip when favourite and has been back to the trials since that effort. He moved well there and now gets the blinkers on again with Poon in the saddle. Maps for a lovely run once more and he can bounce back in a big way. GUSTY FIGHTER (3) hasn't done a lot in his career thus far but has switched stables since his fresh run 52 days ago. Not only that, but he drops into C5 for the first time today and Lyle Hewitson remains in the saddle from his recent trial. Ticks a few boxes and can turn his form around coming to The Valley. ACE TALENT (6) stepped out in distance last start and pulled up with an issue there. Back to this trip looks ideal, though he's been dealt no favours by the barrier once more. He's racing in good order though and has to be included. PLENTIFUL (10) gets Atzeni in the irons and the winkers on first time today. Can feature.
