TSEUK LUK HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Northern Beast can find the front at what looks a moderate tempo on paper. INNO SUPER (8) flew home to just miss over this course and distance 28 days ago in a strong performance. The form out of that race has been solid and he can sit closer today from an inside barrier. He'll be better for his first try around here and he can go one better today. PRESTIGE RICKY (4) settled last in the run here last start but rallied strongly to be 1.8L off the winner at the post. He does draw better today, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be closer in the run. Will need some things to go his way, but he showed last start he's more than capable. ABSOLUTE AWAKENED (3) was caught wide early last start and had to roll forward, eventually tiring out of contention in the straight. He was a good winner here two back and that's the run he should be assessed on. Can bounce back to his best. NORTHERN BEAST (6) comes back to his preferred track and trip today with the booking of Purton suggesting he's ready to fire on the fresh side.
