GOING: G

BLUFF HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Alpha Strike is expected to lead at a strong tempo. ALPHA STRIKE (5) bounced back last start when coming back to this track and trip, only caught late in the race when leading. He's had a trial recently to keep him up to the mark and Ho has options from the draw. Can put his best foot forward in this suitable race. LOOKING BRIGHT (8) has just missed in his past two efforts, beaten 0.3L on both occasions. Poon remains in the saddle and drawing out wide is perfect for him today. Can scoot down the grandstand rail and prove tough to reel in. GLOWING PRAISES (1) was in the same race as Looking Bright last start when in beaten in a photo finish. Purton now hops on board and if he can run up to his latest performance, he'll be hard to beat again. FAST RESPONDER (4) flew home last start and carries a light weight today after the claim of Yuen. Include.
