GOING: G

CLUB HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD     True  

Ka Ying Glory is expected to cross from a wide gate and lead. ACE WAR (12) has been without a win for some time but improved last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second at the end of 1650m at this track after being handy throughout. Zac Purton picks up the ride, and he can go one better. FORTUNATE SON (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1650m at this track after missing the placings at his previous appearance. This doesn't look as hard, so he is ready to find the winners' list. AEROINVINCIBLE (3) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1650m at this track, finishing 3 lengths back in sixth after being in contention on the bend. He can bounce straight back into the money. PRESTIGE RICKY (4) drew wide and ran on late to finish not that far from the winner in ninth at this course and distance. Backmarker who keeps coming. Must be respected, so include in him in all top 4 combinations.
