fourth. He is drawn much better in this contest and with jockey Cheun Wong
aboard the pair is the narrow selection in today’s opening event. TWILL GUY jumped awkwardly in his last
start but with jockey Ronald Woodworth retaining the ride he should improve and
threaten the top selection in the run down to the line. FLYING YELLOW raced wide without cover in his last two starts and
still ran two very good races finishing first and second, if bringing that same
form to the races from a good midfield draw, he can feature into the places. WHISTLE GRAND improved in his last

money.

down to the line. MOONGATE STAR is
another that won his last start quite well and on that run, he can challenge
the top selection in the run down to the line in this contest. CALIRFORNIA was right behind the top
