Heatherlie Handicap 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Showers

Tricky field to sort. Muhnamek is flying and should give this a shake from the decent draw. Jimmy The Bear is as honest as the day is long but will need luck from the barrier. Showmanship bounced back to form last start with a strong win and should be respected in this while RiseAtDawn leaps in grade but is hard to knock in the form it is in.

2024 Heatherlie Handicap Runner by Runner

1. Munhamek (7)

Racing in superb fashion and can continue that form here. Mott has a strong record aboard and this race is within reach.

2. Que Tempesta (5)

Resumes off a break and is a big market watch in what is a suitable race here. Maps for a good run from barrier 5 and should give this race a shake.

3. Bankers Choice (10)

Needs luck from the barrier but should be strips fitter for the return run and can give this race a shake. A poor record at the track is the knock.

4. Aurora’s Symphony (1)

Can’t have.

5. Jimmy The Bear (9)

He’s super honest and should be around the mark again. Has a superb record with Egan aboard and races very well on this track.

6. Loft (12)

Can’t have.

7. Charterhouse (11)

Good efforts the past few starts and is suited to this field. Will need a bit of luck from the barrier but is racing in good fashion and should give this race a shake.

8. Future History (13)

Can’t have.

9. King Magnus (3)

Prefer others.

10. Showmanship (14)

Strong bounce back to form last run and can go on with things here. Needs luck from the barrier but is suited to this field and should be going close with even luck in running.

11. Saint George (2)

Can’t have.

12. Don’t Doubt Dory (8)

Prefer others.

13. Rise At Dawn (6)

Racing well and should give this a shake. Has put together two wins in a row, one of them at this track and Dee sticks. He is 1/1 aboard and looks well placed against these.

Can’t have.
