GOING: G

TUNG CHUNG HANDICAP 1650m

Track: STANDARD      

Strong tempo with Verbier and Team Happy leading the way over Go Go Go. SPANGLE FORTUNE (2) will be fitter for two runs back this time in work and now drops back to Class 5 today. It looks a planned attack as he comes to this track and trip where he was very good in tougher company just three starts back. Purton rides now and he can return to winning ways. VIVA CHALEUR (7) disappointed over the mile on the Turf to end last campaign, though his two trials coming into this race have been very good. Can sit handy as he has done in the trials from a favourable alley and it wouldn't surprise to see his form turn right around. MR ALADDIN (13) may not have handled the Yielding surface there last time out following a good effort first-up at over the mile. Third-up now, back to the mile and onto the all weather now where it should suit his racing pattern. Can run on into the money. VERBIER (6) is better than he showed first-up and is fitter for that performance. Can settle on the speed and prove tough to run down.
