HEALTHY COMMUNITY 1600M HANDICAP 1600m Track: STANDARD
A solid tempo is assured with Soaring Bronco crossing from wide out, joined by Ping Hai Comet pushing on from a kind barrier. CALIFORNIATOTALITY (2) is looking for the hat-trick after a 0.8L win over this track and trip last time out. The 3YO has really hit his straps of late and he has the pace tow work across from the wide draw. He continues to improve and there's no reason why he can't make it three in-a-row. FLYING MOJITO (5) gets Zac Purton in the saddle today as he rises back up to the mile. He's a two-time winner over this course and distance and both of those have come with Purton in the saddle. He only just missed last time out over the shorter trip and a repeat of those figures would see him go very close. BEER PALACE (4) is now 440 days without a win but can bounce back after a disappointing effort most recently. The tongue tie goes on and if he can get back to his prior form, he's right in the finish. MARADO (3) was big odds last start but was just 1.3L off Californiatotality. Worth including.
