GOING: G

RACING SPIRIT HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Super Baby to bounce to the lead from a low draw. FOREMOST TEDDY (8) has only just missed his past couple, going under by 0.2L as an odds-on favourite here most recently. He's knocking on the door of his Maiden win and Purton remaining in the saddle is a big tick. Can go a couple better this time around. CAN'T GO WONG (6) didn't have the best of luck fresh when entering the straight but did close off well once clear. He should sit a little closer this time around and he is a second-up winner previously. Can play a major role. SURE JOYFUL (4) was just fair first-up here 21 days ago, though the form out of that race has stacked up strongly. He draws well again and with improvement anticipated second-up, he can put himself right in the finish again. SUPER BABY (10) can peak now third-up and will take some catching from the front.
