GOING: G

MIDDLE GAP HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Run Run Timing to take charge ahead of King Glorioso at a solid tempo. DASHING MAURISON (6) bolted in two back and almost repeated the dose last time out when missing in a photo finish. Bentley remains in the saddle and he proved last start he can go it on top of the ground. Can sit handy again and go one better. RUN RUN TIMING (10) is hard to knock on his recent form, maintaining his form after winning four starts ago. Purton now hops on board and the inside draw is a big tick for his chances. Should take up the running from the inside barrier and be very hard to run down. SAVVY WARRIOR (8) is third-up now and showed good improvement getting back onto the turf last time out at this track and trip. This looks to set up similarly for Ho and with further improvement on the cards. Can be in the finish again. TAKE ACTION (5) just missed over this track and trip last time out and has had a quiet trial since. Can go one better without surprising.
