GOING: G

TIN SAM HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Strong pace as Fun Together pushes forward along with Gallant Epoch from an outside gate. DAZZLING FIT (1) was far too good at his first attempt over this track and trip, winning easily from midfield by 1.5L. He's been back to the trials since that effort and maps for a better run in transit this time. Looks a nice horse on the way up and can bring up back-to-back wins. MR COOL (4) was very impressive when winning two back here before never getting into the race 27 days ago. He too has trialled since his latest effort and he drops in weight slightly. Likely to get back in the run and will be flying late in the race. GALLANT EPOCH (5) went up to the mile last start and didn't run out the extra trip with his form over this track and trip stacking up nicely in this field. He has the speed to roll across from the wide draw and will give them something to chase. VON BAER (10) is better than he showed last start and has won 2/4 at this trip. Looks well placed to bounce back.
