GOING: G

HARLECH HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine pace with Lucy In The Sky finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. THE RED HARE (6) looked the winner in the straight but couldn't catch the winner when beaten 0.5L over the mile last time out. Back to 1400m today may hold the key with Purton in the saddle and his recent trial was solid. Can sit handy again in the run and get back to winning ways today. MIGHTY MASTS (2) got a long way back but couldn't get his nose down on the line. He draws out again today, but that was a strong return to form at this track and trip. May get back again but watch for him late in the race. PACKING GLORY (10) continues to race well, just missing by 0.8L here last time out. Draws beautifully again today for Matthew Chadwick and with a slight drop in weight, he can land the knockout blow this time. FIT FOR BEAUTY (4) beat a couple of these last time out and it wouldn't surprise to see him get the job done again.
