GOING: G

WYNDHAM HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Strong early tempo assured with Vantastic Choice, Ace Power and Racingrace locking horns. DAN ATTACK (10) jumped favourite and bumped into a good race two back before being just fair at this track and trip last time out. Promising the world and delivering an Atlas of late, but this looks a perfect race for him. He'd just have to run up to his recent performances to be getting the job done. DENFIELD (1) drops back into C4 today and has been back to the trials since his latest effort 56 days ago. The winkers come off and he should appreciate dropping into an easier grade. Maps for a nice run and can bounce back in a big way. VALHALLA (11) was strong here two back before a solid run from the rear on the All-Weather track most recently. The draw is a query, but Ho hops on board and he's sure to go close getting back onto the turf. VANTASTIC CHOICE (4) is better than he showed last time out and is not to be discounted.
