GOING: G

ALBATROSS HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. FLOW WATER FLOW (4) went under in a photo finish on debut over this course and distance, flying home from beyond midfield. He was a $26 chance there, but showed good ability on debut and looks to have scope for improvement. Can go one better this time around. DENFIELD (6) got back to his best form last start when jumping favourite and getting back in a photo finish. Can sit closer than he did last time around and if he can run up to what he did last start, he'll take beating. LUCKY MAN (10) is back to 1200m today after closing off strongly over the 1400m journey most recently at Sha Tin. He's some niggle dropping in trip, though he did go close three starts back. Sure to be strong late in the race. PERFECTDAY (1) will be fitter for three trials coming into this. The booking of J-Mac is a positive sign and he can resume on a positive note.
