GOING: G

LYTTELTON HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Strong pace from Highland Rahy and Mister Dapper matching motors with Another World close at hand. CHINA WIN (11) flew home to win two back in easy fashion before going back-to-back in a photo finish. He's been back to the trials since then and moved well under Purton, who jumps back in the saddle today. Maps beautifully once again and he can continue on his winning ways. JUMBO LEGEND (1) finished off strongly to be 0.8L off the winner last time out. He drops back to C3 now and Bowman hops back in the irons, having won 2/5 when on board. Likely to be back in the run, but if he gets some luck in running he's sure to be storming home late in the race. ANOTHER WORLD (7) landed midfield from the wide draw last time out and ended up 1.5L off the winner in a strong performance on the All Weather. Out to 1800m now doesn't look an issue and the inside draw is a big tick for him. Racing in top order and this presents as an opportunity to raise the bar again. MISTER DAPPER (2) was too good last time out and it wouldn't surprise to see him get the job done.
