AUSTIN HANDICAP 1200m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Ka Ying Resilience should lead at a keen tempo. STAR FIGURE (7) just missed first-up before getting back last time out and never featuring when a $3.40 chance. McDonald sticks with him today and he comes onto the All Weather for the first time. Likely to get back in the run but he'll be strong late and his first-up effort says he can land the knockout blow. JOLLY COMPANION (10) has won a trial since his latest effort over this course and distance 38 days ago. Guyon replaces the apprentice hoop today and his best form has come under this scenario. Maps nicely and can feature in the finish once again. NOTTHESILLYONE (11) is racing in good order, leading throughout when back in C5 last start and holding on for a narrow win. Back up to C4 now, but he was racing well at this level prior, and at this track and trip. Can go back-to-back as he drops in weight. KA YING RESILIENCE (8) has impressed at the trials recently and looks set for a bold showing.
