TOPAZ HANDICAP
#4 Fortune Boy picked up his first win at just his second try over the mile last start, scoring over Wrote A New Page who has since franked the form. He’s only a three-year-old who’s coming to hand and looks to have a few points up his sleeve. #1 Mister Dapper chases back-to-back wins and a third from six runs since transferring to David Eustace’s stable. He maps well and has strong claims. #14 Pearl Of Pang’s slots in light and off a third behind Ping Hai Comet, he gets his chance to break through. #13 Fight Time does qualify for Class 5 on his 40-rating but remains in Class 4 at the foot of the weights and Wong’s 10lb claim. He’s a 16-start maiden, though his back-to-back thirds behind Dazzling Fit and Mister Dapper bode well.
