LAPIS LAZULI HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD
Supreme Agility should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. WOODFIRE BRO (3) should appreciate getting up to this trip now after a nice run from the back on the All Weather surface most recently. He has the pace to get across from the wide draw and his recent efforts suggest he has his hoof on the till. Finds the right race now to end his winning drought. ILLUMINOUS (7) is better than what he showed last start when a beaten favourite against some of these rivals at this course and distance. His efforts prior were superb and right up to what it will take to win this race. He'll snag from the draw with Teetan on board and a return to his best will see him get the job done. AWESOME FLUKE (6) was too good over this course and distance last start when sustaining a mid-race move to win by 0.3L. He does rise in weight, but his recent trial was solid and he's likely to be in the finish once again. PACKING HURRICANE (1) was strong from the back last start and is not to be discounted.
