GOING: G

LAVENDER HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

A moderate speed is expected with Incredible Moment up front. INCREDIBLE MOMENT (7) is a well-related gelding who makes his debut today. He was impressive in his trials in Queensland before heading to HK where he's continued his good trial form. He's a half to a G3 winner in HK and he can start his career on a winning note. FORTUNE WHISKEY (1) finished 3.8L off the winner last start at this track and trip where he was slowly away and disappointing. Freshened and back to the trials since then where he's looked good. He draws better this time and a return to his best form would see him hard to hold out. PRIME MORTAR (2) is another who disappointed last start, finishing 2.5L off the winner when sitting up on the speed. Suspect he'll be ridden quieter today and Orman was on board when he went under narrowly two back. Can bounce back. JOLLY RULER (5) turned in a strong effort last start over 1650m and is a course and distance winner here previously. Creates interest with his set-up.
