HEATHER HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong tempo assured from Wah May Wai Wai and Firefoot leading the charge. FIREFOOT (5) finished 1.3L off the winner here last time out but drops back to 1650m this time around. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now and he has enough speed to roll across from the sticky barrier. Racing strongly and can get back to winning ways. COURIER MAGIC (11) is better than he showed last time out, beaten 4.5L at this track and trip. His prior form stacks right up and he remains right down in the weights. Can play a major role. SKY VINO (2) is ticking along nicely, winning here three back before two close defeats in recent efforts. Bowman replaces the apprentice hoop and he can bounce back to winning form with his upside. SMILING EMPEROR (12) just missed two back before a disappointing performance last time out. Drawn better this time and on the quick turnaround, he can be right in the finish.
