GOING: G

MANICOU HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD
Plenty of pace likely from Happy Tango, Joyful Life and Must Go battling for the lead from Regent Glory. SPANGLE FORTUNE (11) just missed over this course and distance last time out, beaten in a photo finish. He draws well again today and drops plenty of weight as he rises in grade. Maps for a nice run once more and if he can repeat what he did here 32 days ago, he'll take plenty of beating. HINOKAMI KAGURA (6) was also edged out in a photo finish last time he came to the races, beaten narrowly when charging home after the breakaway leader. Suspect he'll be midfield in the run again, but he only rises 0.5kg despite a strong effort last start. Can go one better today without surprising. MUST GO (1) won impressively two back before going under as favourite last start, finishing behind Hinokami Kagura. That rating stacks up well in this field though and he's sure to be in the finish again. EVERYONE'S VICTORY (4) wasn't far away last time out in a big form reversal and has claims if he can repeat that run.
