GOING: G

TOPAZ HANDICAP 1600m

Track:      

Plenty of pace with Sky Deep and Ping Hai Comet leading from Packing Fighter. FLYING AMANI (13) got the class drop last time out and made the most of it, running over the top to score in a photo finish. Back up to C4, but he's been competitive in this grade prior. He drops a stack of weight today and he can bring up back-to-back wins. PACKING FIGHTER (4) disappointed on the wet surface last start as the race favourite when dropping back to this grade. Purton rides now, he's trialled well since his recent effort and getting back onto a firmer deck should increase his chances. Expecting him to bounce back in a big way today. SKY DEEP (2) sat up front last start and took some catching on the wet deck last time out. Expecting him to adopt similar tactics today with Moreira hopping back on board and he may be able to dictate up in distance. Can go one better this time around. FLYING KNIGHT (3) is hard to knock on his past couple of efforts and should get every chance from the draw.
