GOING: H(8)

ASAHI SUPER DRY HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Fully Lit to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. The lightly raced BRAVE ONE (16) resumed on a heavy track at Canterbury last start where he got the nose in front at the furlong but tired late and found one better. Strips fitter and on the limit looks a great chance to register a second career win. Godolphin's KERGUELEN (10) returns for a third prep and protects a 100% top three strike rate. Only raced once last prep and was narrowly defeated over 1100m at Canterbury. Yet to contest a race of this quality but is certainly up to the task. CRAFTY EAGLE (8) did a fair job first-up at Gosford after a slow getaway. Capable of squeezing into the top four at big odds. UNSTOPABULL (9) fitter second-up and slightly out in trip. Likes the Heavy and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave One each-way all day.
