NIIGATA HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Woodfire Champ, Sweet Diamond and Ever Smart all possess good speed. TALENTS SUPREMO (5) hasn't been sighted since his 1.3L defeat 42 days ago at this track and trip where he jumped the $2.90 favourite. He reappears today with Purton in the saddle in a good push for his chances. He goes well fresh and he'll be storming home late in the race. LUCKY GENERATIONS (1) is a lightly-raced maiden who may have been looking for the drop in class. He draws well tonight and it wouldn't surprise to see him sit closer in the run. He's turned in some good efforts in stronger company and he can turn his form right around. EVER SMART (7) was just 1L off the winner here 21 days ago and steps up to 1200m again today. He's placed 2/4 at this track and trip and jumped favourite here back on December 4. Can play a major role. SPEEDY SMARTIE (10) can roll forward and give a bold sight from up on the speed.
