Winton Race 5 - UPPERCUTS BUTCHERY MOBILE TROT
FIERY BANDITO (6) made it two wins from his last three starts when he scored by 4 metres on April 26 over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway. Finds a nice race and will be a major force again. HE AINT FAKIN (1) scored by 6 metres at this track over 2400m last start, the second win from his past three appearances. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. HIDDEN TALENT (5) is the next best after finishing third over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway last time out. AH DINNAE KEN (2) put together a string of wins prior to the latest attempt so could bounce back.
