ISLAND HANDICAP 1000m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Certain to be a strong tempo with Superb King, Double Alpha and Georgian Sigma leading the charge. SUPERB KING (4) produced a terrific first-up effort, covering ground from a wide draw before fighting on strongly for second over 1000m here a fortnight ago. With the benefit of that run and a much better draw, he gets his chance to go one better. JUMBO BLESSING (1) returned in excellent order, claiming a narrow win over this course and distance 2 weeks ago, and he is now chasing a hat-trick. He is thriving and should have further improvement to come, so stick with him. MAPOGO (12) has shown plenty in his trials without always delivering on race day, but a break and favourable first-up conditions could help him put it all together here. Each way claims at a price. HARMONY FIRE (9) was solid fresh when finishing fourth behind the second pick in the same race last start, and she seldom puts in a poor effort. Include in all top 4 combos.
