WALMER HANDICAP 1800m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a genuine tempo. FAMILY POWER (4) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1400m at Fairview, coming from the tail to get up by a nose. Generally goes well here. Leading contender. STRAWBERRY THIEF (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into fifth. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves another chance. ENCHANTING CHOICE (1) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1400m at Fairview. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to make a serious impact. EPIKLEROS (2) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths over 2000m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
