Toorak Handicap 2024 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine
The race of the day. Another Wil looks hard to hold out from barrier 1. Has built up an outstanding record and gets its chance. I have potted Antino as being unders its past 5 runs. Now does strike the right race but needs to do everything right. Pericles has plenty of class and does come out of the Underwood Stakes which reads well for this with a solid third placing. Orchestral has class on its side but may be looking for further.
2024 Toorak Handicap Runner by Runner
1. Desert Lightning (11)
Big win last start. Harder here bit having a great prep and should give this a shake.
2. Pericles (13)
Class of the field and has the experience and edge to take this out. Drawn wide but will be rattling home late.
3. Antino (8)
He has been short in the market all prep but this is now the right race for him. A clean jump and he can go close.
4. Another Wil (1)
Comes up with barrier 1 and both wins this prep have been massive. Impossible to knock bar the price. Goes close.
5. Light Infantry Man (5)
Can’t have.
6. Orchestral (6)
Classy runner with Zardozi form but likely wants further.
7. Alsephina (10)
Good win last start with more luck in running. Very stern test here but far from the worst.
8. Bank Maur (4)
Can’t have.
9. Craig (12)
He has been consistent all prep and is hard to knock. This might test him but he can win.
10. Jimmy The Bear (7)
Can’t have.
11. Magnaspin (2)
Prefer others.
12. Osipenko (3)
Due for another win but does have class and best is good enough. Drawn low so respect any market moves.
