INSULAR HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Good early pace headed by Holy Lake, Eighteen Carat and Packing Hurricane, with Oriental Smoke and Kimberley in their slipstream. ILLUMINOUS (2) was 2.5L off the winner last time out after jumping the $2.90 favourite over 2000m. Back to this trip looks ideal and while he's likely to get back in the run, his figures in efforts prior to last start have him right in the frame of this. On the way up and will take beating. STAR MAC (3) was only fair last week on a wet track and back to the mile. He was super in the Classic Cup over this trip three back and now Bowman rides from a favourable alley. Best form is good enough he just needs to recapture it. SUNSTRIDER (6) looks ready for this trip now as he rises to 1800m for the first time. Zac Purton remains in the saddle and he drops 1.5kg off his latest effort where he jumped favourite. Can put his best foot forward. HOLY LAKE (4) was too good over the mile last start and Ho has won 3/4 when partnering. Live chance.
