Verdict

SUPER STRONG KID (6) looks a good prospect on the way up, winning fresh before a 1L defeat over this track an drip last time out when an odds-on pop. Purton remains in the saddle and he's trialled well over 6f since that latest effort. Draws ideally and can return to winning ways. LIGHTNESS OF MUSIC (12) disappointed in his first run back this season but has been sound at the trials since. Chadwick rode him in his latest outing and stays with the gelding for his return off a 77-day break. Can return to form in what looks a suitable race. ALPHA STRIKE (5) was strong over 5f here first-up and has trialled impressively since. The step up to 6f is no issue and the inside draw should see him close to the speed on settling. Ticks plenty of boxes. GOLDENTRONICMIGHTY (11) was too good first-up and can repeat the dose.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Apprentice

A new jockey who has not ridden a certain number of winners in a specified time period.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
