Friday 2 November 2018

12.20 a.m. R3 5 Astra (4 g Smart Missile - Indian Dream) - MM Firdaus (a1); draws barrier 7 of 12 in the $85,000 Novice 1200 metres on turf and carries 54kgs. A nice horse, but he needs further.

12.50 a.m. R4 2 Lim's Regard (5 g Red Giant - Celtic Class) - Troy See (a1); two in $80,000 Class 3 1400 metres on turf for Mark Walker and the first will jump from barrier 4 of 12 with 56kgs on his back.  He is back in grade here and rates a top four chance.

12.50 a.m. R4 12 Ben Gunn (4 g Tagula - Henrietta Mews) - CK Ng (a3); the second for the stable draws midfield at gate 8 of 12 and carries 50kgs. He requires a drop in grade to Class 4 to be more competitive.

1.55 a.m. R6 13 Success Come True (5 m Alamosa - Falaniella) - MM Firdaus (a1); draws barrier 11 of 12 in the $60,000 Class 4 1100 metres on the poly track, but as ballot one, she unlikely to make the field, and requires a drop back to Class 5.

2.25 a.m. R7 5 Prince Pegasus (5 g Beneteau - Sassy Peg) - CK Ng (a3); again two stable representatives for Mark Walker in the $80,000 Class 3 1400 metres on turf - the first with a handy draw at barrier 3 of 12 with 51.5kgs to carry. He requires more distance.

2.25 a.m. R7 9 Justice Glory (4 m Fastnet Rock - Tavarnelle) - MM Firdaus (a1); the stablemate will jump from barrier 7 of 12 and carries 50kgs. She requires a drop back to Class 4 to really make her presence felt.
