JUNCTION HANDICAP 1650m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Thriving Brothers leading from Telecom Fighters and Thunder Blaze. TALENTS AMBITION (1) returns to his preferred track and trip today as he drops back to Class 3 for the first time in a while. This looks a big like a targeted assault and his recent trial was very strong. Likely to get back in the run but can storm home own the outside. ROMANTIC THOR (7) missed by 1L at this track and trip last start and has had a quiet trial since that effort. He drops in weight today, but Purton remains in the saddle and he should be in this for a very long way. SKY VINO (5) flew home to win here two back as the $2.60 favourite before tackling the turf last time out. Back to this track and trip is ideal and Avdulla hops on board now. Needs some luck from the draw, but can storm home from the back of the pack once again. DRAGON AIR FORCE (2) is racing in strong form recently and Bowman sticks with him here. Can feature.
