REPULSE BAY HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pressure with Notthesillyone, Honest Witness and Candlelight Dinner leading the charge. DANCING CLASSICS (4) looked a different horse once the blinkers went on, putting a gap in his rivals after a superb Moreira ride. A good gate gives him every chance to get the right run and he can go back-to-back. BUNTA BABY (5) had an outstanding campaign last season and has trialled sharply for his return. He likes to get back and finish hard, and with Zac Purton staying aboard, he looks a big winning chance. LOVE TOGETHER (1) won twice last season and has continued to impress for the Fownes stable. He is a genuine danger in this even contest, and can make his presence felt late. HORSEPOWER (3) has a few quirks, but boasts an excellent first-up record with 3 wins from 5 attempts. He will be ready to rumble, and is hard to leave out. CANDLELIGHT DINNER (2) was a solid second over this course and distance last time and is another genuine top-4 chance.
