GOING: G

MAN CHEUNG HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Parents' Love and Plentiful possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. PARENTS' LOVE (1) just missed when jumping an equal favourite last start at this track and trip as he still searches for that elusive maiden victory. The wide draw is a niggle, though he should be near peak fitness now and he has good early speed. He'll take a stack of beating. ACE TALENT (3) resumed from a reasonably long layoff and finished just behind Parents' Love last time out. He draws out again, though Bowman was able to almost make it work last start when only beaten 0.5L. Rises slightly in weight, but rates highly and is should feature with improvement expected. DIAMOND SOARS (6) is better than he's shown his past couple and looks to find a nice set up today. He's a three-time track and trip winner and he maps to get every chance for Chau. Can make his presence felt. PLENTIFUL (7) tired badly first-up but did improve sharply second-up last campaign. Include.
