Happy Valley   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

FAST MOST FURIOUS HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Honest Witness possessing enough dash to find the front. DANCING CLASSICS (1) was very impressive on debut as the race favourite before going under as the $1.60 fave most recently. Nothing went right for him on that occasion and he's worth forgiving on what we saw on debut. Needs a touch of luck but can bounce back out in trip. HONEST WITNESS (7) is another lightly-raced gelding who was solid from the back of the pack here 21 days ago. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now with a much better gate this time around. Can sit much closer and notch up his maiden victory. CIRCUIT VICTORY (12) has been solid since winning at Sha Tin three starts ago and comes to Happy Valley for the first time. He remains right down in the weights and he looks to map kindly under Poon. In the mix on recent performances. TACTICAL COMMAND (4) can sit closer than he has done in recent performances and is not to be discounted with Atzeni hopping on board.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Sha Tin May 18 over 1000m defeating Fun Elite with 57.5kg at $2.50. Second-up second last of 14 at Sha Tin on June 8 over 1000m, 7 len behind Cheval Valiant with 61kg at $1.60. Better than the last effort suggests and can bounce back.
