GOING: G

TSUN YUEN HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Good early pressure for top spot with Colourful Baron likely to take up the running. DRAGON DELIGHT (7) is very competitive at this level and had no luck at Sha Tin last time out after being trapped wide throughout. He cops another wide gate but this time has the services of Hugh Bowman in the saddle and a form reversal is expected. TATTENHAM (2) has been racing not too badly of wide draws here most recently and gets a much better barrier to jump from here. More importantly, he drops in class and should be hard to hold out. THE KHAN (4) has yet to show his true worth in Hong Kong and was tried in front here 8 days ago but failed to see it through, finishing sixth. He drops down another grade and gets his chance to put his best hoof forward this time. BEAU GOSSE (5) has been out of sorts in his last two but is worth keeping safe on best efforts.
