TSING LUNG TAU HANDICAP 1400m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A strong gallop is likely with Gallant Epoch and Bucephalas taking up the running, closely attended by Golden Luck and Strathpeffer. TOP DRAGON (3) disappointed at his first attempt over this course and distance last start, but happy to believe he just turned in a poor one there. Form prior was good and he's trialled well since that effort. Purton rides now and he can boucne back to score his maiden win. GALLANT EPOCH (2) led them up at Happy Valley last start over 1650m and didn't see out the journey. Back to this track and trip where he was narrowly beaten two back and he should be prominent from the outset. Can put his best foot forward. FORTUNE STAR (7) ran on well from the back on debut over 1200m at massive odds. The figures out of that run weren't hopeless and he can run a cheeky race. DREAMING WINNER (4) disappointed last start but is better than what he showed there. Back to the trials since and can bounce back.
