GOING: G

BEAS RIVER HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Pressure on from word go with Cordyceps One, Super Baby and Super Eagle handlebars down ahead of Golden Luck and Patch Of Time. COMET SPLENDIDO (1) can go on with the job following a 0.3L victory at this track and trip a fortnight ago. Zac Purton hops in the saddle this time around and he has steered this fellow to victory previously. May need some luck in running, but if he gets the splits, he'll be hard to hold out. PATCH OF TIME (9) returned in good order over 1400m at Sha Tin and looks ready for this trip now. He was 2.5L away there, but the first-up figure rates highly in this event and he maps to get every chance under Teetan. Can improve now and shed the maiden tag without surprising. RED MAJESTY (2) drops back into C4 for today's assignment and is a course and distance specialist. Notably, Bowman hops off Comet Splendido to ride this fellow who has had a quiet trial since his latest effort. Expecting a sharp turnaround in his form. CORDYCEPS ONE (4) will appreciate dropping back to this trip and can bounce back to form.
