6:00am - HUAWEI HANDICAP | 1400m | | i

Note: late scratching of KING DARCI. A few 'usual suspects' in this race with similar form-lines. GOT UNDERS to get control up front (tempo: FAIR to STEADY), he will like to get rolling from the 800m though, a tough one-paced type. His two eye-catching efforts over a distance that's too short for him have him primed for this and SOFT ground suits. HOGMANAY (looking for further now?) can get the spot outside the leader and is the the main threat. LOUIE SEA KAY and SONIC SWISH right there in the ratings too and can figure if swoopers are favoured. DARK STEEL might need a freshen now. [updated 10:10am]
