NURTURING TALENT 1200M HANDICAP 1200m Track: STANDARD
Certain to be a strong tempo with Call Me Glorious, Better Link and Sea Air Legend leading the charge. CALL ME GLORIOUS (7) was caught late by an up-and-coming talent last time out after leading the field throughout. He's been back to the trials since then to keep him up to the mark and the Tongue Tie goes on for the first time. He's the one to beat. LADY'S CHOICE (6) went under as favourite most recently, beaten 1.8L over this course and distance. He can throw in a bad one every now and again, but trust he's back on track and he'll go close if he can run up to his last start effort. YOUNG ACHIEVER (2) makes his HK debut and brings plenty of x-factor. He''s looked good at the trials where Purton was on board for his most recent, sticking with the gelding today. He's run in some good races in France and Germany and looks ready to make an impact. in his HK debut. SOLID IMPACT (4) comes through the same race as Call Me Glorious and wasn't far away there. Worth including.
