GOING: G

YAU KOM TAU HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Sizzling pace from Master Of All, Sky Heart and Uranus Star locking horns ahead of Lim's Shavano and Juneau Pride. THE RED HARE (13) has taken his time to acclimatise to racing in Hong Kong, but he looked a lot better when hitting the line well to finish fifth fresh up 3 weeks ago. The extra furlong will help him, and he could have the last say this time. TIN FOOK (9) was ridden quietly early on last start over 1200m at this track, and ran on resolutely to finish third. He has had a trial since then, and this race maps well for him. Each way claims again. IGOR STRAVINSKY (6) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. He made progress in his last campaign and should measure up in this class as well. Watch the market for any positive leads. LIM'S SHAVANO (4) made up some late ground when finishing sixth fresh up 4 weeks ago, and was back at the trials a couple of weeks ago, scoring comfortably. His debut win in Hong Kong was impressive, so don't write him off.
