JACKSON HANDICAP
#6 Bottomuptogether is chasing his first win this campaign and finds a winnable race following solid efforts in strong form races, including a runner-up finish to Rubylot four starts ago and a game third to Raging Blizzard last time after setting a strong early pace. Barrier 1 and Zac Purton aboard add to his appeal. #5 Brave Star resumes in Class 2 after completing a hat-trick of wins last preparation. While the 1000m trip is a question mark, he profiles as a late closer and will be finishing strongly off a fast tempo. #7 Stellar Express makes his Happy Valley debut after racing exclusively at Sha Tin but must be respected following his last-start win in this grade. #8 Healthy Healthy has been consistent this season and should give his usual honest account racing prominently.
