KAI TAK HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo headed by Our Lucky Glory from his low draw. PRECISION HOPE (7) finished off strongly from the second half of the field to be 0.5L off the winner at this track and trip off a 35-day break. That was a good return to form and he draws an inside barrier again today. Rates highly on his latest effort and he can break his maiden. LEGEND WINNER (1) was just 1L off the winner last start at this track and trip and now gets Purton in the saddle for the first time. The wide draw is a query, but he has good early speed and may be able to roll forward from out wide. Can play a leading role. CHEAHA (2) was well beaten two back before a much better effort over 1200m last start when closing strongly. Out to this trip for the first time looks to suit as he has appeared to lack speed on occasions over 1200m. Expecting another forward showing. NOBLE PURSUIT (5) wasn't far away last time out and has to be included for the in-form jockey and trainer combo.
