SHING MUN RIVER CHANNEL HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Just a moderate tempo headed by Foremost Teddy, Circuit Fiery and Circuit Mighty. CIRCUIT MIGHTY (1) drops back into Class 5 today in what looks a set play by connections. The gelding hasn't won for 734 days, but Purton has won 3/5 when partnering and he's back in the saddle today. Maps to get ever chance and a return to the winners list is on the cards. TATTENHAM (12) comes onto the turf course here following a sound effort at Happy valley last time out. He gets the blinkers on this time and while his record here isn't great, he's right in the mix on his most recent figures. FLYING ROMANTIC (8) is still a maiden and steps up to 1400m again today. The inside draw looks ideal for this son of Dundeel and he comes through a solid form race last time out. Expected to be right in the thick of the action. JOYFUL FRIENDSHIP (14) is better than he showed last start and is a second-up winner in the past. Can play a role.
