GOING: G

TAI HO HANDICAP 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Happy Tango is expected to lead at a strong tempo. REGENT GLORY (3) was beaten 3L first-up but he stuck on well from a handy position down the straight. This looks a slightly easier event and he usually gets better with racing. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now and he should get his chance off the inside. The one to beat with improvement likely. HAPPY TANGO (9) got the job done fresh at Happy Valley but does boasts a good record over this course and distance. He does rise in Class today, though he'll carry no weight after the claim of Ellis Wong. He was beaten by Regent Glory here back in May, but he meets that competitor better at the weights now. Can turn the tables. ACA POWER (4) has trialled on the speed which is in contrast to his usual racing pattern. He has drawn wide today, but his record here is strong and he's sure to put himself in the frame. COSMO NAVIGATOR (10) was 3.5L off the winner first-up but was in the market there. Can feature coming onto this surface.
