COX'S HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace genuine with Ka Ying Superb booting up to lead. MR COOL (3) copped a check at the start here 4 weeks ago but still managed to recover to motor home late to score by half-a-length in a very impressive performance. He has to carry an extra 2.5kg this time and also has another wide gate, but if the race is run to suit him, he can have the last say again. SHAMUS STORM (6) caught the eye with a strong late finish for third here behind the top pick 4 weeks ago. He has been back to the trials since then and has the advantage of a superior draw this time. He stays at the same weight, and can take this out. AUTUMN DELIGHT (11) was trialling up nicely before finishing fifth fresh up over 1200m here 2 weeks ago. He will appreciate the extra furlong, and if he can live up to his trial form, then he can figure in the top 3 this time. REZEKI (1) ran a much better race when finishing fifth here just over 7 weeks ago. He drops down in class, and would not be a shock winner.
