GOING: G

THE YAN CHAI TROPHY (HANDICAP) 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Cracking early tempo with Bottomuptogether and Super Fortune leading the way. BOTTOMUPTOGETHER (1) is looking to keep his unbeaten streak alive after a dominant win at the end of last campaign, running away to win by 2.8L. His two trials were very good against faster horses than he meets today and he has the speed to cross from the draw. Can take up the running and make it four-from-four. RUBYLOT (2) has also trialled nicely coming into today following a narrow win at the end of last campaign. He draws a nice gate today and his ratings stack right up in this field. Can put his best foot forward in his season return. SUPER FORTUNE (9) got the job done on resumption over this course and distance when leading throughout to score by 0.3L. He too will push on from the outside draw and he drops plenty of weight as he rises in grade. May prove tough to catch if he can replicate his fresh effort. GOKO WIN (6) has trialled well coming into this and has to be included.
