SHENZHEN CENTRE 1400M HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo anticipated with Ka Ying Attack and Fortune Link ahead of Riding Together and Pi Legend. BABY SAKURA (14) bolted in fresh before strong performances in defeat his past couple, both as odds-on favourites. He was only 0.8L away most recently and the drop in weight today looks a big key to his chances. Maps for a kind run and can bounce back to winning ways out in trip. KA YING ATTACK (2) stuck on well after sitting on the speed throughout when over 1200m last time out, beaten 1.3L. He now gets Britney Wong in the saddle claiming 3kg and he has enough speed to roll across from the front. Out in trip is a big tick and he'll be hard to rein in. QUANTUM LEGEND (8) looked to be working into the race in his HK debut before hitting the wall late and finishing well back. He'd trialled well coming in and jumped favourite there. Expecting him to be better for that run and he can put his best foot forward. RED MAESTRO (9) has trialled well since his latest effort and can't be left out of calculations with Bowman hopping on board.
