SHA TIN AW   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

CHATHAM HANDICAP 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

From the wide draw Bottomuptogether can cross and set up a solid tempo. BOTTOMUPTOGETHER (1) is 1/1 at this track and trip and has trialled very impressively on this course since his latest effort when leading the G2 Premier Bowl. Purton hops on board today after partnering him in his latest trial. Can roll across and be tough to run down. SING DRAGON (6) led and bolted in two back over 1650m, but he is very effective back to the sprint trips. He's won 4/8 at this track and trip and Teetan knows him well. Needs some luck from the draw, but can bounce back to winning ways without surprising. TALENTS AMBITION (7) disappointed over the mile last start on the turf course and comes back to this track and trip on the quick turnaround. He rates well on his latest efforts and if he can hold his form coming back in trip, he'll be in this for a very long way. INVINCIBLE SHIELD (3) wasn't far away on the turf here last start and races on the AW for the first time. Has trialled well on this surface however and creates plenty of interest.

Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
