THE PREMIER CUP (HANDICAP) 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo with Copartner Prance and Winning Ovation leading the way over Six Pack. WINNING OVATION (9) bolted in at this track and trip two back before jumping an odds-on pop in this grade last time out, beaten just 0.5L in a tight finish. Back to 1400m today may hold the key and he has enough speed to cross from the barrier. Back to his preferred track and trip can see him get back to winning ways. LITTLE PARADISE (6) was racing well at this track and trip before winning the 4YO Classic Mile en route to the Derby. Outclassed in G1 company at his last start but back to 1400m is a big tick with Purton reuniting. His recent trial was good and he looks beautifully placed in this event. RAGING BLIZZARD (2) just missed in the Sha Tin Vase over 1200m and now stretches to 1400m. Out to this trip for just the second time, but his recent form is very strong for a race like this. Drawn well and can feature. SIX PACK (10) profiles nicely for a race like this down in the weights and he can make his presence felt.
