CONNAUGHT HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Forza Leader and Triumphant More can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. PERFECT GENERAL (10) turned in a solid performance when fourth in his first run in this grade last start over 1200m at this track, finishing just 3 lengths off the winner. That followed a good first-up win at this track. He has a good gate and should be right in the finish again. SPICY GOLD (2) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight, last start to finish fifth, beaten a neck, over this journey at this track. Sure to prove hard to beat again. TRIUMPHANT MORE (1) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by nearly a length over 1200m at this track. If the pace is again genuine, then he can have the last say. WINGS OF WAR (3) finished eighth at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. He comes to hand quickly, and his trial form is good. Check the market moves.
