GOING: G

STUBBS HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Lots of speed predominantly from Super Axiom, Hero Star and Sweet Diamond. KING INVINCIBLE (1) is still looking for his maiden victory as he drops in grade for the first time. Back to C5 now and Purton on board makes this appear a targeted assault. Wide draw may be a concern, but he has been competitive in tougher company. Can shed the maiden tag today. SWEET DIAMOND (6) disappointed last time out at Sha Tin after a 1L defeat over this course and distance two back. He almost negated the wide draw that day and he has good early speed to get across again. Racing well without winning and should make his presence felt. HERO STAR (3) faded badly after leading them up over 1200m here last time out and is another on the Class drop tonight. Chung takes and extra 2.5kg off and he's likely to be in this race for a very long way. TIMESTORM (8) is some niggle at the distance but can be strong if they overdo it up front.
