SPESSARTINE GARNET HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo with Hakka Radiance and Golden Fairy leading the way over Leather Master. LEATHER MASTER (4) doesn't boast a great record at this track, but he's hard to ignore off a dominant victory at Happy Valley last time out. While winning by 2.3L, he only rises 1.5kg and the wide draw doesn't hurt as he went back when winning last time out. Can repeat the dose. HAKKA RADIANCE (1) has been a little plain his past couple, but his form prior was very good in stronger company. He drops back to C5 today and Atzeni remains with the gelding. He can roll forward from out wide and give a bold sight from the front. STORM RUNNER (3) showed what he can do when up in trip for the first time last start, finishing behind Leather Master. Purton replaces the apprentice hoop this time around and a he has to be included on that performance. GOLDEN FAIRY (13) draws nicely to sit close to the speed and races well at this track and trip. Expecting him to be right in the finish.
