KAM TIN RIVER HANDICAP 1200m
AUTUMN VIBES (1) turned in a better performance last start after jumping favourite first-up at this track and trip. Still looking for his maiden victory, but he's third-up now and building nicely for the new stable. Can get over the top of them late in the race. ALWAYS FLUKE (3) was sound on the wet deck at this track and trip a fortnight ago. It's been a while between drinks, but he's knocking on the door and rates highly on his last start. Can go one better. HEROIC MASTER (2) was only 2l off the winner last start who has since run well again at Happy Valley. Back to Sha Tin today where he's placed 5/8 and the inside draw should see him get every chance. WINNING DIAMOND (9) can't be left out of calculations with Bowman on board from a good draw. |

KAM TIN RIVER HANDICAP 1200m
VERBIER (12) ran strongly on the wet deck last time out, beaten 0.8L at this track and trip. Joao Moreira rides now in a good push for his chances and an inside barrier is a big tick. Can go a couple better this time around. COUNTRY DANCER (2) ran over the top to score by 0.5L at this track and trip last start on a soggy track. This shapes similarly however and he has won 2/3 at this track and distance. Can go back-to-back. CALL TO COMMAND (8) was only 1.8L off the winner last start despite finishing 8th and his recent efforts rate highly in this field. That was at Happy Valley, but his form here at Sha Tin stacks up too. Can put his best foot forward. BINGO BABE (13) missed narrowly last start and has to be included on the back of that performance. |

LAM TSUEN RIVER HANDICAP 1200m
KA YING RADIANCE (11) draws the best gate he's seen for a long time after flashing late last start with Purton on board. He's trialled strongly since that effort and can sit a touch closer this time around. Impressive effort last start and can raise the bar again today. LITTLE MONSTER (10) led and won last start at this track and trip two back before settling back in the pack and ending up 2.8L off the winner last time out when the race favourite. Should sit closer this time around for Ho and he can return to winning ways. ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (1) returned to form last start when back in grade, jumping favourite and missing by 0.5L. He's trialled well twice since that effort and another forward showing is on the cards. GHORGAN (3) is racing in good order and should get every chance from the barrier. |

NAM CHUNG RIVER HANDICAP 2000m
ENTHRALLED (4) has been flying home in recent efforts, missing by 0.3L two back before going back to 1800m last start and finishing 1.3L off the winner. Bowman rides again today and back out to 2000m is a big tick. Been a while between drinks but he's knocking on the door and this presents as a golden opportunity. SUPER GOLDENDRAGON (7) has turned his form around in recent efforts, missing by 2L last start over this track and trip. Things look to work out nicely for him here and if he can hold his form lining up here, he'll be hard to fend off. RELIABLE DAD (9) steps out to 2000m for the first time and this looks an opportunity to go to a new level. He's run to a strong level over a mile previously when flying late, with the extra journey now appearing to suit. Has plenty of upside and can notch up his maiden win. DOUBLE WIN (2) was too good last start at this track and trip and is can do the job again. |

NG TUNG RIVER HANDICAP 1650m
HAPPY UNIVERSE (1) disappointed two back but bounced back to form last start with a 0.3L defeat on this surface. Back to 1650m is no issue as he's placed at this track and trip previously and he maps for a king run in transit. Can go one better this time around. FOREMOST TEDDY (11) got the job done last time out when winning by 0.3L over 1800m last time out. Ellis Wong hops on board now after partnering him to his latest trial. Has the speed to work across from out wide and can repeat the dose. CHILL KAKA (4) is racing well his past couple, missing by 2.8L last time out when over the 1800m journey. Back to his preferred track and trip now and the inside draw should see him close to the speed. Can get back to winning ways. BULL ATTITUDE (12) is better than he showed last time out when on the turf course and getting back onto this track is a big tick. Can turn his form right around. |

LAM TSUEN RIVER HANDICAP 1200m
KA YING RESILIENCE (8) was given a break following a 2L defeat in January, with his past couple of trials being very impressive. He's a track and trip winner in the past and Teetan reunites with the gelding first-up. He's placed 2/4 first-up in the past and a forward showing is on the cards. ENJOY GOLF (10) won well two back in easier company and backed up that performance last start when 1.5L off the winner in this grade. He now carries no weight with the claim of Yuen and he has the speed to get across from out wide. Will give a bold sight. NAVAS G (7) has been just fair since a strong debut performance at this track and trip. Drawn wide here, but he has shown glimpses throughout and he can show what he's capable of. ELEGANT LIFE (3) is some niggle at this track and trip but he rates highly on his recent form. Worth including. |

SHA TAU KOK RIVER HANDICAP 1400m
GALLANT DESIGN (5) is racing well and doing it on all different surfaces, the latest a 1.5L defeat on a firm deck. Purton now hops on board after jumping favourite here last time out. Blinkers get replaced by the visors today and he can go one better today. MASTER LUCKY (6) was fair on the wet deck two back before a 1.5L defeat most recently when jumping the favourite 20 days ago. Gets another favourable map today and he drops 1kg despite the strong effort last time out. Can sit handy from the outset and give a bold sight. JOYFUL JOY (1) got over the top to win by 1.5L, defeating Gallant Design in the process. He was a $54 chance there though, but the way he did it was very impressive. Wouldn't surprise to see him go on with the job. SOLID CAR (7) is better than he showed last time out and gets the tongue tie on for the first time today. Can play a leading role. |

THE PEARCE MEMORIAL CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) 1000m
Good race this with a number of chances. STELLAR EXPRESS (2) has been racing well without winning and looks well placed coming back to this track and trip. He boasts a good record here and Bowman remains in the saddle. Can roll forward from the draw and make every post a winner. COLOURFUL KING (4) stepped up to 1200m last start and never got into the race at Happy Valley. Back to this scenario suits him much better and Atzeni has a good record aboard. Can stalk the speed and make his move late in the race. BEAUTY WAVES (1) is another who should appreciate this scenario today. He's trialled very well since his last start in G3 company and Teetan sticks from the trial. Can make a statement. MAGIC CONTROL (7) gets in with no weight on his back and is sure to make his presence felt. |

BEAS RIVER HANDICAP 1650m
RUN RUN SMART (8) has been superb on the turf course recently when leading the field up, and that racing style should transition well onto the All Weather. He's trialled well on this surface previously and with no weight and an inside barrier, he looks the one to beat. GLITTERING LEGEND (6) returned to form last start at Happy Valley and gets the visors on today, replacing the blinkers. He's placed at this track and trip just three starts ago and with a touch of luck from the barrier, he can go a couple better. KING DANCE (13) was on the way up before getting a long way back and never featuring on the turf course last start. Onto the All Weather again today where he has won previously and out to 1650m looks a good move. His recent trial was scintillating and he looks poised to strike. MUST GO (7) was sound from the back here last start and won't be far away. |

SHEK SHEUNG RIVER HANDICAP 1200m
MR INCREDIBLE (6) bolted in last start at the top of Class 4, putting his rivals to the sword. He's a very nice horse on the way up and he's since won a trial with ease. Teetan sticks with him, he draws ideally and he can continue his rise through the grades. THUNDER KIT (7) won well two back before stretching to 1400m last start and not featuring. Coming back to this track and trip is a good move and the wide draw doesn't hurt with his racing pattern. Watch for him late in the race. GUSTOSISIMO (1) has been solid here his past couple, missing by 1L with Purton on board last time out. The champion hoop sticks again here and getting away from the inside may hold the key. Can feature in the finish again. LIFELINE EXPRESS (8) won't be far away returning to his preferred track and trip. |

TAN SHAN RIVER HANDICAP 1400m
CIRCUIT CHAMPION (6) got well back last start but flashed home to b 1L off the winner. He jumped favourite there and should be better for that effort coming off a freshen. Purton hops on board now, he's building nicely and he can get back to winning ways here. DO YOUR PART (7) is ticking along nicely without winning, giving himself every chance from the front. Bowman takes the ride and latest trial at Conghua was super. Will give himself every chance again. FIT FOR BEAUTY (4) disappointed last start when racing wide and without cover, but his form prior was much better. Finally draws a good barrier this time for Ethan Brown and he can return to his best form. STORMING DRAGON (10) won't be far away despite the wide alley, with his recent form stacking up in this. |
