THE INSPIRING COMMUNITY 1200M HANDICAP
#5 Blazing Wind flashed home late to finish a close second to Harold Win last start, missing out by a head. He should test their mettle, especially with the advantage of barrier 1, while key rivals will require luck from their wide draws. #2 Courier Aladdin is an untapped talent, having debuted with a lasting first-up win last term. He looks destined for better things but will need plenty of luck from the outermost alley. #1 Harold Win, wearing saddle cloth number 1 in this field, comes off his breakthrough success last time. Despite carrying extra weight, he should feature prominently again. #7 Monarch County has shown steady improvement in his trials leading up to his debut for the Caspar Fownes yard; it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him run a strong race first-up.
