GOING: G

CHAI WAN ROAD HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Cheval Valiant and Riding High should set a strong gallop. ALSONSO (1) just missed last start over this track and trip when edged out in a photo finish. He's drawn out wide again which suits for the straight course and Purton now hops in the saddle. Ticks plenty of boxes and if he can run up to his latest figures, he'll can go one better. MOON ROCKET (7) just missed over this track and trip 27 days ago and has been back to the trials since. He hit the line alongside Alsonso on that occasion and was awkwardly away as well. Better for the experience now and can put his best foot forward again. WINNING DIAMOND (11) makes his debut today and has shown good ability at the trials. The wide draw is a big tick for him on debut and he's expected to go close if he can run up to his trial efforts. ISLAND BREEZES (12) just missed when storming home last start and can be in the finish once again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alsonso can get the job done this time.
