GOING: G

HARBOUR VIEW HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Lean Master to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. TALENTS SUPREMO (9) resumed with an impressive run from the back of the pack, beaten 1.5L at this course and distance a fortnight ago. He maps inside again today which may be a little niggle, though Teetan remains in the saddle and he has placed 2/4 second-up. Sure to be there when it matters most. NEBRASKAN (3) sat on the speed and was collared late, finishing 1.8L off the winner first-up. The form out of that race has already been franked and he's a second-up winner in the past. Can sit on the speed again and prove tough to catch with the added fitness on his side. LEAN MASTER (4) resumes today on the back of a nice trial coming in. Bentley was on board for that trial and he remains in the saddle today. He may need a touch of luck from the alley, but with some luck he'll be very tough to gun down. SKY SONG (7) was too good in easier company last start and draws well again today. Can feature.
