GOING: G

A1 ENGINEERING HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 34)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 7.30)  

Solid tempo with Favoured Son to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ICANDOIT ONMYOWN (6) went through to the Belmont Guineas in the winter after building nicely in her efforts prior. Her latest trial was good at Lark Hill and the 3kg claim gets her in nicely at the weights. Can return on a positive note. SOUND OF SPEED (5) missed in a photo first-up at this track and trip before a 1.5L defeat here just last week. The 3kg claim comes in handy and he'll be on the speed once again. Will take some catching third-up. BRAVE APACHE (2) bolted in fresh before a 1.7L defeat at Albany last time out. Tougher here but he's building nicely this campaign. KING'S DRAMA (4) is better than we've seen his past couple and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Icandoit Onmyown can return with a bang.
