GOING: G

MOUNT BUTLER HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

From wide out Sakewin can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. PARENTS' LOVE (9) steps out to 1200m for the first time today after a 1.8L defeat at Sha Tin most recently. He draws a kind barrier today and suspect the rise in trip should suit this son of Deep Field. Improving with every run and now gets his chance to stand on the top step of the podium. DAN ATTACK (10) has been good since winning here three starts back, bumping into a smart one last start with the form out of that race being franked. The winkers go on first time and his recent trial was very good. Can bounce back to winning ways. PHOENIX LIGHT (1) ran over the top to win stylishly at Sha Tin most recently. His record at the track and trip is a little niggle, but he rates highly off his latest win and that figure suggests he can go back-to-back. EXUBERANT (4) is racing well without winning and can be right in the finish in this suitable assignment.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Sha Tin March 31 over 1200m defeating Awesome Treasure carrying 54.5kg at $22. The run before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 12 at Sha Tin on March 10 over 1200m, 2 len behind Star Club carrying 56.5kg at $13. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
