GOING: G

AP LEI CHAU HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Allcash and Beauty Alliance can roll to the front. BEAUTY ALLIANCE (10) bolted in last week at this course and distance when sitting on the speed throughout. This shapes as a similar race for Alex Badel and he drops 6.5kg with the rise in grade. Looks a nice horse on the rise and can repeat the dose. CHARITY GAIN (8) rattled home last start to just miss over this course and distance last time out. He was 1.5L off there and he continues to improve with racing. Should be flashing home at the finish once again. NORTHERN BEAST (11) has trialled well since his latest effort where he a half-length winner at this track and trip. He drops 8kg today as he rides in grade and both runs at this trip have been great. Maps nicely and should go close again. STAR MAC (4) rattled home as favourite last start at this course and distance and won't be far away.
