KAT O HANDICAP 1600m Track: SOFT |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of pace likely from Pray For Mir, Young Achiever and Kempes battling for the lead from Aeroinvincible. AEROINVINCIBLE (11) comes through a good form race where he finished 1.5L off the winner. Two winners have come out of that run from 5 starters and he maps for a similar run in today's race. Still lightly raced and open to plenty of improvement. Can get back into the winner's stall today. YOUNG ACHIEVER (5) closed off strongly first-up but disappointed when well beaten at Sha Tin last time out. He's been back to the trials since where he looked good and now gets out to a trip where he was successful in Germany and France. Big tick with Purton sticking and a better effort is in store this time. KARMA (4) stormed over the top to win in trying conditions 48 days ago and has been kept up to the mark with a recent trial. The horse he beat then came out and won a similar event. Ho has had good success when riding previously and takes the ride once more. Big chance to go back-to-back. CHING (3) is better than he showed last start and can bounce back third-up.
