THE HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB COMMUNITY TROPHY (HANDICAP) 1000m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Tempo strong with Super Ten booting up to hold the fence while Super Commander presses forward from an outside draw. CHATEAUNEUF (3) disappointed as a $1.60 favourite last start but did pull up with some issues post race. He's been back to the trials since and finished close to G1 winner and Chairman's Sprint Prize contender Little Brose. Big tick with Purton sticking and he can bounce back to winning form. PROSECCO (13) has been in top form of late. He probably should've won two back before winning comfortably last start down this track and trip. Draws inside this time which isn't ideal, but he should have plenty of space to make his run from the back. Should be right in the finish again. RED ELEGANCE (5) was caught late by Prosecco over this track and trip last time out but he was first-up there. Kept fresh for this and he draws nicely toward the outside once again. Can put his best foot forward. MULTISUPER (6) also comes through the Prosecco race and is the beneficiary of the outside barrier this time. Won't be far away.
