GOING: G

KUNG HEI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo to be established by Always My Folks and Noble Deluxe. SPARKLE AND GOLD (1) looks a little disappointing on paper, though this presents as a very different scenario. He drops back in grade for the first time today with Avdulla taking the ride and the cheekpieces go on. Can see him improve sharply here. ALWAYS MY FOLKS (3) resumes here off a short break with just one trial since his last start in November. The blinkers go on now and DBM hops on board, sticking from the recent trial. Expecting a much better run this time around in what looks a suitable race. MAJESTIC DELIGHT (8) stuck on well last start out to 1400m but comes back in trip here which looks to suit him a bit better. Bowman rides now from a good draw and his form at this trip stand sup. Can play a leading role. HAPPY BOYS (4) is better suited out to this trip today and can turn in a much better effort.
