GOING: H(8)

PRECISE AIR HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Fear No Evil leading the way. FEAR NO EVIL (2) is deep into his maiden prep and keeps raising the bar. Led all the way for a tough win over 1600m at Warwick Farm last start. Gets in with 2kgs less after Wadick's claim. Ready to transition to Saturday racing. LIKE LUKEY (12) came with a mighty finish from worse than midfield to be beaten under a length when resuming over 1400m at Scone last time out. Goes well second-up so over an extra 100m she will be difficult to hold out. INTERJECTION (1) earned a crack at the Group Two Queensland Guineas last start after an eye-catching third in the South Pacific Classic but it proved too much. Big chance back in more modest company. MAORI CHIEF (6) has won two from two this prep in midweekers at the Kensington track. Progressive three-year-old from the Waller camp who looks ready for this harder task. Consistent mare CALIFORNIA SUNRISE (13) will be cherry ripe at her third run back and cannot be left out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fear No Evil to win again.
