GOING: G(4)

CHAPMAN VALLEY GNFL PREMIERS 2024 HANDICAP 1113m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Solid tempo with Admiral Husson to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. AUDREY GRACE (4) won well two back before a 2.2L defeat at Bunbury last time out in stronger company. She was in the market there though and the form out of her win has stood up nicely. Visors replace the blinkers now and with a touch of luck, she can get back to winning ways. HEZANGELIC (5) rates highly off his two runs back this time and steps out to this trip for just the second time. He's had plenty of market support in both runs this preparation and now he drops in grade and draws ideally. Sure to put himself on speed and can return to winning ways. SAINTLY CITY (1) is better than what we saw from him last start and is not to be discounted. SPIRIT MAN (3) has a nice first-up record and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Audrey Grace can get the job done.

Useful gelding. Last start raced on the pace before fading ran last of 11 at Carnarvon Carn Sprint on September 14 over 1200m, 12 len behind Red Rebel with 55.5kg at $3.50. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Carnarvon Stu Maver Memo on September 1 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Dark City carrying 55kg at $2.50. Best form stacks up so he can bounce back.
