ERICA HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. NYX GLUCK (7) is knocking on the door of his maiden win, finishing 1.3L away last start after getting well back in the run. He finally draws an inside barrier for J-Mac and his recent trial was very solid. Can sit handier this time around and land the knockout blow. YOUNG HORIZON (14) was far too good last time out, mowing down his rivals to win by 1.3L in good style. He rises in class today, but gets down onto the minimum today. Ticks plenty of boxes and can bring up back-to-back wins without surprising. PACKING KING (8) is on debut today for Pierre Ng with Purton in the saddle. He's partnered the gelding a couple of times at the trials where he's been solid. Latest trial was a little skew-whiff, but his outings prior were impressive and he can make a statement. BULL ATTITUDE (4) is some niggle back to this track and trip but the winkers go back on and Hewitson has won when riding the gelding. Can feature.
