GOING: S

FWD INSURANCE CMB WING LUNG BANK HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Expecting a strong pace headed by Full Credit, Colourful Prince and Massive Action. FULL CREDIT (8) led them up and dead set bolted in over this track and trip 31 days ago. That's very impressive anywhere in the world, but especially in HK. He rises in grade today, but should work to the front again and if he can run up to his last start effort, he should be winning again. STELLAR EXPRESS (3) has been right around the mark his last couple, going under by 0.3L most recently down the straight. Now out to 1200m and McDonald in the saddle. The draw is a bit of a worry, but he was very effective at this trip in France early in his career. Can go one better. STORM RIDER (5) disappointed in his most recent start 76 days ago and has been freshened since then. Only one trial leading into this, but the booking of Purton suggests he's ready to go. Live chance if he's at his best. HASTEN DELIGHT (1) was a good winner last time out and looks to get a similar set up this time. Worth including.
