GOING: G

LOCH LOMOND HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD     Out 11 metres  

Cracking early tempo with Youthful Spirits and Allgreektome leading the way. RED ELEGANCE (2) has just missed in both runs this campaign, finishing 0.8L off the winner most recently and his recent trial was very good. He maps beautifully from a nice draw today and he's won 2/4 over this track and trip. Can continue his upward trajectory with a win today. HORSEPOWER (4) was very good first-up over this track and trip when running on down the outside in his HK debut. Still lightly raced with stacks of upside, Purton remains in the saddle which is massive tick. Needs a touch of luck but he looks to have plenty of class. ALLGREEKTOME (6) draws a better gate today after being edged out by Horsepower last time out. The claim of Wong keeps him down in the weights and he'll take plenty of catching from the front. ETERNAL FORTUNE (7) hasn't been far away of late and now gets J-Mac in the saddle. Include.
