EMERALD HANDICAP 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Harold Win has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. COME FAST FAY FAY (3) led them up and skipped away to win very impressively over this track and trip 28 days ago. Purton remains in the saddle today and while the wide draw does make things tricky, he's shown plenty of versatility in his career. Can land the knockout blow. HAPPY PROMISE (5) finished off nicely but was no match for Come Fast Fay Fay last time out and he's been back to the trials since where he moved well. Ticking along nicely early in his career and can raise the bar again now to turn the tables. TIN FOOK (2) wasn't far away last start over 1200m when sticking on well from close to the speed. He maps for a similar run here, though the rise in trip is a query. Ethan Brown's riding well at the minute though and he can put his best foot forward again. FORTUNE STAR (8) has been closing well over further at Happy Valley and creates some interest coming back in distance here.
