RIDING HIGH TOGETHER 1600M HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Mega Mastermind has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. AMAZING DUCK (12) is racing in good order, finishing 1.5L off the winner after being a long way back in the run last time out. Purton hops on board now and he draws a much better gate today. Ticking along nicely and now gets every chance to end his winning drought. JOLLY BRILLIANT (8) has jumped favourite his past couple and hasn't been far away, missing by 2.8L last start when getting well back. The form out of that run has worked out well and his recent trial was super. Can notch up his maiden victory. PRESTIGE HALL (5) finished off strongly two back before rising to 1400m last time out and scoring in impressive fashion. He rises to the mile for the first time now and that looks to suit. Wouldn't surprise to see him go back-to-back. FAMILY FORTUNE (13) won narrowly last start at Happy Valley when the race favourite. He drops a stack of weight coming into this and it looks to set up nicely for him. Can win again.
