GOING: G

YAU MA TEI HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD     Out 9 Metres  

Genuine tempo with Beat Hollow to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Tricky race to start the day. MASTER OF ALL (4) scored his maiden victory over this track and distance 34 days ago, winning by 0.5L as favourite. The form out of the race has stood up well and while he does rise in weight, the last start effort rates highly. Has gone to a new level since getting to this track and trip and can win again. TSUEN WAN GLORY (11) couldn't bring up the hat-trick when 4.8L off the winner here 41 days ago. This looks a nice set up for him from a favourable alley and it wouldn't surprise to see him bounce back to winning ways. PERFECT PEACH (8) has been racing well from a long way back in his races, but he draws a much better gate this time. Now ready to peak third-up, if there's improvement incoming then he'll make his presence felt. ALWAYS AWESOME (1) doesn't have the best form on paper but ticks some boxes dropping into C5 with Bowman going on.
