MOUNT NICHOLSON HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Thousand Cups and Always My Folks are both expected to press forward and take it up. ALWAYS MY FOLKS (2) bounced back last time out to win comfortably after sitting up on the speed, scoring by 1.3L. He did pull up with an issue, but he was far too good there and this looks to shape similarly. The rise in trip is the query but if he can hold his form, he'll be hard to hold out. EXCEED THE WISH (10) finished off well from midfield to be 1.5L off the winner last time out after jumping the race favourite. He does lose Purton, but he should land in a handy position from the barrier and Hewitson knows him well. Can make his presence felt once again. CHILL MASTER (9) has missed narrowly his past couple, finishing 0.5L off the winner last time out. He's trialled nicely since then and it wouldn't surprise to see him notch up his maiden victory today. LAKESHORE HERO (1) is better than he showed last time out and makes plenty of appeal coming back in grade today.
