GOING: G

GUANGZHOU HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Packing Bole and Telecom Fighters possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. COLOURFUL KING (3) bumped into a speedy customer on resumption when going off as the race favourite, beaten 1.3L but getting up to 1200m looks to suit him much better now. He's likely to be back from the draw again, but the fresh run should set him up nicely for this. Can go one better this time. AURORA LADY (8) comes through the same race where he was a $19 chance and finished off nicely from last position in the run. He will relish the rise in trip now and the strong tempo there should have him ready to fire now second-up. Loves this track and trip and from a good draw he can make his presence felt. MASTEROFMYUNIVERSE (5) missed last start behind Tomodachi Kokoroe but was only 2L away the finish. That horse has gone on with the job since and this gelding drops in weight slightly off that effort. Purton sticks and he can land the knockout blow. SUPERB CAPITALIST (7) may be looking for the 1200m journey now and can put his best foot forward again.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Seoul September 7 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Chikappa carrying 57kg at $16.30. The race before that second last of 12 at this track on July 16 over 1200m, 7 len behind Beauty Waves with 51.5kg at $67. Can't tip with much confidence.
