GOING: G

PENG CHAU HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Run Yes Run is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. GREAT SPIRIT (7) came back to The Valley last start and wasn't beaten far when running on from beyond midfield. The form out of that race has been solid and he didn't have the best of luck their either. Atzeni rides now and he can get the job done this time. CLUB ACE (4) was only 0.8L off the winner most recently at this track and trip and draws a much better barrier this time. He drops in weight on this occasion and the in-form Avdulla takes the ride. Drawn to find the front and he'll take catching. YEE CHEONG SPIRIT (1) didn't really get a chance last start when never getting a clear crack at them after a good effort two back. Drawn further out this time, but with a clear run in transit he'll be storming home late. MOTOMAN (2) hasn't been far away lately and is sure to be right there at the finish.
