RUBY HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Colonel should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. LIGHTNESS OF MUSIC (8) is on debut for the Chris So stable and has impressed at the trials coming into this. Purton has been on board for all 3 of his trials and stays in the saddle for his debut. 4 of his five siblings are race winners and he can make an immediate impact. BOWSER (5) comes across to the Sha Tin straight where he boasts a solid record after running well without winning at Happy Valley recently. He hasn't won for a while, but he gets back to the scene of the crime and he's drawn ideally out wide. Can put his best foot forward. MOON ROCKET (2) scored here two back before a 3.5L defeat most recently when peaking on the run late. This looks to shape similarly and he still has plenty of improvement up his sleeve. Can bounce back. PERFECT GENERAL (3) can be in the finish as he drops back to the 1000m journey and the booking of Atzeni is a positive sign.
