FLAMINGO FLOWER HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Reasonable tempo with Speedy Fortune probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. HOSS (8) gets Zac Purton in the saddle today after going under as favourite most recently. He's been left with too much to do his past couple, but the form out of his last start has worked out well already. Purton has a winning record aboard and he can get the job done. SPEEDY FORTUNE (7) has only been tried twice over the Happy Valley 1200m, but his form at this track is solid. His past couple on turf and AW at Sha Tin have been just plain, but his run here three back rates well. Drawn nicely and can put his best foot forward. GIMME FIVE (1) comes back to Happy Valley following a 3L defeat on the All Weather course last start and now drops back into C5 today. Karis Teetan remains with the gelding and he should get every chance to knock up his maiden win. JOYFUL LIFE (6) drops back to the 1200m today and gets the blinkers on. Can play a role.
