GOING: G

TAI MO SHAN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Pray For Mir leading the way. FAST NETWORK (1) pulled up with an issue at his last start prior to the break but looks to be back in good order judging by his recent trial. Purton trialled him most recently and remains in the saddle for his return effort. Needs some luck from the gate, but is good enough to get the job done on resumption. PRAY FOR MIR (2) may be better over further but looks well placed on the back of a nice trial coming into this. He is a winner over this trip previously and he bring in some strong ratings from Group races last season. Can return on a positive note. MICKLEY (9) comes through the Derby but was effective at this trip following that effort, including a narrow defeat here two back. The inside draw may see him a touch closer in the run for Atzeni who sticks from his latest trial. Sure to be strong late. MARKWIN (8) bled following a narrow defeat last time out and boasts a strong record at this track and trip. Wouldn't surprise to see him go one better.
