GOING: G

FAT CHOI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Joyful Treasure is expected to lead at a strong tempo. MASTER PHOENIX (5) drops back to the 1200m journey today off a 33-day break. He has trialled well in that time and he draws beautifully for Ferraris. Can sit close to the speed and shed the maiden tag. JOYFUL TREASURE (4) is a lightly raced gelding who turned in an improved effort over this track and trip last time out, finishing 2L off the winner. He maps for a lovely run once again for Hewitson and he looks to get every chance off the inside barrier. Can make his presence felt if he continues on his current trajectory. SAVVY TWINKLE (6) was solid on debut when running on from beyond midfield, beaten 2.3L. Leung hops in the saddle after trialling the gelding early in his career. Can run an improved race. CLUB ACE (8) steps out in trip for the first time and was given a very quiet trial recently. Bowman sticks from that effort though and he's worth including.
