THE CHAIRMAN'S TROPHY 1600m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Moderate tempo headed by Voyage Bubble from his low draw. Happy to back in MY WISH (8) to return to winning ways. He's been unable to challenge at G1 level recently, but he did jump a $1.40 favourite in a similar race earlier this season. He was good in his recent trial and Bowman should get every chance from the draw. GALAXY PATCH (6) beat home My Wish back in November before tackling G1 contests since, finishing off strongly behind Ka Ying Rising most recently. Karis Teetan remains in the saddle and the wide draw doesn't hurt with his racing pattern. Watch for him flying late in the race. Just not sure how well VOYAGE BUBBLE (1) is going at the moment. While he's taken on strong races since his G1 Mile win in December, he's been below his best and now Purton deserts him. Best is good enough, but is he at his best right now? Purton hops on FAST NETWORK (5) who creates interest coming out to the mile now. He's placed at this trip previously and he's not to be discounted.
