HART HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo primarily from Leading Dragon, Elite Golf and Island Buddy over Top Throne and Flying Sniper. BABY SAKURA (1) won on debut before a 1.5L defeat most recently when beaten as an odds-on favourite. He got a long way back there after being slowly away. Thinking he can sit much closer this time around with Ho on board and if he can take closer order, he can return to winning ways. ELITE GOLF (2) won well two back before a 1.8L defeat last time out when beaten by Baby Sakura. He's been to the trials since which helps and he meets Baby Sakura better at the weights. Can sit handy in the run and give himself every chance to return to winning ways. LUCKY BID (7) has shown plenty of ability at the trials recently and looks ready to fire on debut. Avdulla has been with him the past three trials and remains with him. Can feature in the finish. FLYING SNIPER (5) disappointed on debut but can improve today with Purton remaining in the saddle.
