HAND PAINTED is taken to complete the hat-trick in this handicap at the main expense of Taurus Twins and New Leyf. Peter Makin's colt was good value for his winning margin last time out as he idled a little in front. But he looks progressive, he has conditions to suit and he can continue his hot sequence. Taurus Twins has been in great form and he was only narrowly beaten behind Noddles Blue Boy at Newcastle last time. He¿s versatile with regards to the ground and he should go well. New Leyf won his maiden in decent style last time and he is certainly one to consider on his handicap debut as Jeremy Gask has his string in red hot form at present. Miss Hollybell, Klynch and Hi Shinko are others that make some each-way appeal, but Hand Painted is on an upward curve and he can win again.
