GOING: G

YUE YEE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid pace with Mid Winter Wind finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SUNNY DA BEST (11) just missed two back before a good win over this course and distance last time out, scoring by 0.5L as the $2.80 favourite. Up in grade now, but he drops 6.5kgs and Purton remains in the saddle. Progressive type who can win again. RUN RUN SMART (10) was very good last start when out to 1200m, finishing only 0.5L off the winner as a $22 pop. He's trialled well since that effort and he maps for a similar run today. He drops in weight though and a repeat effort will see him hard to hold out. BEAUTY LIGHT (13) just missed last start at Happy Valley and comes to Sha Tin for the first time today. He drops 8.5kg for the rise in grade and he has enough speed to offset the barrier. Can make his presence felt. LUCKY EIGHT (5) will need some luck from the barrier but he's racing well and is right in the mix.
