BANYAN HANDICAP
#4 Sonic Boom steps out for his second start back in Class 5 and will appreciate an inside draw (4) after being caught wide from a poor barrier last time yet still managing third. #2 Silver Destiny will be a favoured runner as he makes his Class 5 debut with Zac Purton aboard. He impressed in a barrier trial, finishing just behind a stablemate who subsequently won, indicating he’s ready to fire. #3 Speedy Fortune returns to his preferred track and distance after three encouraging 1000m runs at Happy Valley since joining David Eustace's stable. James McDonald in the saddle boosts his chances despite barrier 10. #6 Woodfire Champ had no luck chasing consecutive wins last time, caught wide early and unable to be fully tested late. A better draw here gives him a chance to bounce back.
