GRAHAM HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Lovero has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ZOOM BOOM (3) sprinted away to win impressively over this track and trip 21 days ago, He's found a home over the Valley's 1650m course and while he does rise in weight, he brained them last start when racing without cover. Just has to repeat that effort to be winning again. RED HARE KING (2) was chasing hard when favourite in the race Zoom Boom won, but he was no match for the winner there. He does meet the top pick better at the weights today and he maps for a dream run off the inside. Can turn the tables without surprising. HAMERON (1) has been running on strongly his past couple, beaten just 1.3L when getting well back last time out. Bowman remains in the saddle and he may be able to settle closer from a slightly better gate this time. Winning hope if he runs up to his recent efforts. GIDDY UP (4) comes through the same race as Zoom Boom and should appreciate a much better gate today. Include.
