Turf: Good (“A” Course)
40-0 Class Five Handicap
Race 1:No. 7 Enjoy The Game
Still a maiden but this is the weakest field he has faced to date. Go close.
60-40 Class Four Handicap
Race 2: No. 10 Fire Starter
Comes back in distance and returns to Happy Valley. Major player.
60-40 Class Four Handicap
Race 3: No. 1 St Yazin
Gets back but will be charging late. Take holding out.
60-40 Class Four Handicap
Race 4: No. 3 Mazandaran
Just missed last time behind Owners’ Glory. Maps well and can break through here.
60-40 Class Four Handicap
Race 5: No. 7 Dragon Glory (Longshot)
Well rated and fitter now with two runs under the belt. Don’t discount.
Hong Kong Country Club Challenge Cup
Race 6: No. 1 Regency King
Proved too strong in the final stages last time and looks the one to beat again.
80-60 Class Three Handicap
Race 7: No. 6 Seasons Star
Very honest and can figure with some luck from the wide gate. Each-way.
80-60 Class Three Handicap
Race 8: No. 8 All Great Friends
Drew away for a cosy win last time. Tougher here but should measure up.
