GOING: G

CHONGQING HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Handsome Bomb can take up the running but he'll have company. SEA EMERALD (4) is a lightly raced gelding who was good on resumption over this track and trip. He returned with a similar figure to what he produced last campaign and that looks a good platform for him to go to another level now. Can score his maiden win. AURORA PATCH (3) finished 2L off the winner here 24 days ago when settling in a midfield position. He finished off nicely there but should be able to land in a good position from a better barrier this time. Bowman sticks and another forward showing is anticipated. HANDSOME BOMB (12) hasn't trialled all that well coming into this but his form last campaign makes for good reading in this field. He has the speed to roll across from out wide and if he's able to dictate the tempo, he'll take beating. SKY SONG (14) was sound first-up at Happy Valley and has claims if he can bring that form here.
