Last race watch list horses running today:
Race 2 Glittering Armour (2-1) After just getting up in his last race at Class 5 after encountering trouble, he was back up at Class 4 where his lifetime record at that level is a little wanting. He took his usual running position mid-pack while allowed to save ground on the rail, moved off of it entering the stretch but soon afterwards moved back towards the rail looking for running room, finally at the 200 metre mark room was available and it looked as if he was going to get up for the win but was unable to chase down Honest Way at the wire, he was over 3 ½ lengths in front of the third place runner high weight Happy Tour. Catches a chaos race today, what with 4 first time starters but on the good news is he is running against #1 Have Fun Together who just loves to eat punters’ money.
Race 9 Conte (3-5) In his first race after almost a 5 month break, drew a very tough Class 1 race in his debut effort at that class level and drew the far outside post. He broke well and was hard ridden by Rispoli to gain a forward position down the backside, bug-boy Wong did not allow him to race comfortably and pressuered him until the 350 metre mark but was soon engaged by Keetan on Morethanlucky. After keeping him at bay he started to tire at the 150 mark and couldn’t hold off the winner Rattan only to lose by a neck. Even after the stressful race, he galloped out well past the top two finishers.
Race 11 Taking Aim (9-2) was coming off an impressive 1 ¾ length win at Sha Tin, broke about a length slow to the field while breaking from the 10 gate. Callan was unable to find his way over to the rail and was parked extremely wide down the backside, then had to be taken up slightly when Schofield on Relentless Me moved over into his path. Fought down to the wire only get beat by a long neck, he only picked up 1 rating point which will keep him racing at Class 3 once more. Gets a much better draw catching the 3 gate and picks up Zac Purton for the mount.
