SHEK PIK HANDICAP
#1 Galvanic was disappointing last start on his return to Class 4, weakening in the straight. He’s since been sent back to the trials, where he looked well, and barrier 2 here should see him map ideally. He can atone. #2 Northern Beast reunites with Zac Purton from barrier 1 and should prove a leading chance after a tough run from barrier 11 last start. He checks plenty of boxes. #6 Kimberley had no luck last time, being held up from the 200m until passing the 100m; Hugh Bowman now takes the ride from barrier 4, which will spark improvement. #10 Prince Alex has been racing well without a win this preparation and remains in solid form.
