FWD INSURANCE CCB (ASIA) HANDICAP 1400m Track: SOFT |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A stack of early pressure, primarily from Drombeg Banner and Telecom Fighters. ATULLIBIGEAL (3) probably found them too sharp over the 1200m journey and looks better suited this time around. Where he gets to from the draw is a niggle, but Bowman knows him well. Drops in weight off his latest run and won a similar race just 3 starts ago. The one to beat. BLUE MARLIN (8) was only outdone by a very smart and progressive horse last time out, beaten 1L. His form read brilliantly for this and he's built a very impressive record. Remains down in the weights and can put his best foot forward once again. LUCKY ENCOUNTER (6) never gave anything else a chance last time out when scoring impressively over 1200m. Back out in trip now where he was placed behind Blue Marlin two back. Can be prominent in the run and take plenty of catching. OUTGATE (9) just missed at Happy Valley last start and was super here two back. Won't be far away again.
