GOING: G

BEAS RIVER COUNTRY CLUB 1400M HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD
From wide out Vantastic Choice can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. SUNNY DA BEST (1) didn't give anything else a chance when bolting in over this course and distance 29 days ago, winning by 3L. He ran good time there and while he does rise in weight, he's an improving galloper just 3 starts into his career. Can improve again and bring up back-to-back wins. LUCKY TOUCH (7) went under as a $1.90 favourite most recently over 1200m and now steps out in trip for the first time. He's been back to the trials since where he was very impressive, and his racing style suggests the rise in trip will be ideal. Purton remains in the saddle and he'll take plenty of beating. YOUNG HORIZON (12) has been good in C4 since winning in easier grade three starts ago, ending up just 1.8L off the winner most recently. He'll carry little weight after the claim of Wong and he's sure to be in the finish. VANTASTIC CHOICE (9) is usually around the mark and is expected to be thereabouts again today.
