SWIFTLET HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Firefoot and Good Luck Win can roll forward without a noted leader engaged. FORTUNE STAR (10) missed narrowly last time out over the 1650m journey at this track in a strong performance. He flew late there and the step up to 1800m for the first time today looks ideal. Needs some luck from the draw, but he looks open to plenty of improvement now and can shed the maiden tag. SHARPEN BRIGHT (4) stuck on well over the 2200m journey here last start and drops back to the 1800m trip today. He's a winner at this course and distance previously and the inside draw can see him handy in the run. Can put his best foot forward. CHINA WIN (8) switches from an outside barrier to the inside draw today with Zac Purton hopping in the saddle now. Looks an improver now at his second time over this track and trip. Drops a kilo and can play a leading role. DOUBLE WIN (5) is looking for the hat-trick and has to be included.
