JACKSON HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace from the outset with Smart Fighter and Flying Wrote leading the charge. FLYING WROTE (2) lifted strongly only to just miss when first-up last start over 1200m at this track. He has trialled up since that run 4 weeks ago, and will be spot on for this. On top. STRAIGHT TO GLORY (8) is yet to break through for his first local win in 9 runs, but wasn't far away last time when second over 1200m at Sha Tin 18 days ago. Derek Leung can secure the run of the race from the pole position, and the pair can go one better this time. LEGENDARY IMPACT (10) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 3 when beaten 2 lengths into sixth at this track over 1200m. He has not been too far away in his recent races and is not the worst in this. VOYAGE BOSS (5) has improved in each of his 3 runs back from a spell, and he will have Zac Purton in the saddle this time. Each way value. PERIDOT (9) finished fourth over 1200m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Include in all top 4 combos.
