HEBE HAVEN HANDICAP 1800m Track: FIRM |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good Good has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. CHINA WIN (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a nose, over 1800m at Happy Valley. The blinkers have been removed, and he can go one better. AUDACIOUS PURSUIT (1) settled well back from a wide draw last time, then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1600m at this track. He appears suited to the longer journey, and could even have the last say here. KASA PAPA (14) hit the frame two starts ago at Happy Valley but ran below par last time when seventh there over 1650m. He can put himself in the right spot this time in a field that lacks any early speed, and he may even break his local duck. VOLCANIC SPARK (10) flew home too late when finishing runner-up here last start over 2000m. His next win is due at short notice. Each way. PACKING HURRICANE (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 2000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. He can make full use of the pole position and won't be far away.
