Hamilton Park Race 4 - Cube Glass 'Soba' Handicap

CLASSY AL (6) bids for third consecutive victory following narrow margin wins at Ayr and this track. Return here suits and will prove hard to beat once more. ARCTIC VOYAGE (3) shaped well when 7L fifth on reappearance. May strip fitter and progress. Key player if doing so. GRANDLAD (5) disappointed last time. Warrants interest judging on a 0.75L second start prior. Threat to all if bouncing back. VENTURE CAPITAL (1) can benefit for the application of cheekpieces. Each way chance.

At the latest run ran last of 14 at this track on July 18 over 1200m, 10 len behind Nariko carrying 60.5kg at $23. Before that raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at York on June 28 over 1000m, 12 len behind Squealer with 58.5kg at $8. Rates highly and is worth another chance.

Second-up. First-up after eight months eased back early on 5th of 9 at Chester on June 28 over 1220m, 7 len behind Alzahir carrying 60kg at $6.50. Previously second-up scored a big 6 len win at Nottingham October 9 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Curzon carrying 60.5kg at $4. Plenty of improvement to come.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track July 18 over 1000m defeating Jojo Rabbit with 60.5kg at $3. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at Ayr July 14 over 1000m defeating Eternal Sunshine with 56.5kg at $7. Going well and should prove hard to beat.
