GOING: G

SHA TIN HOI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Pace is sure to be keen with Straight To Glory striding forward, along with Riding High. FLOWING RICHES (5) is on debut for the Jimmy Ting barn and has shown good ability at the trials coming into this. Keith Yeung has been with him the whole way through and remains in the saddle today. Strikes a suitable race on debut and can land the knockout blow. COURIER ALADDIN (1) has had his issues, winning impressively on debut and has only had one start since then where he never got into the race. Zac Purton remain in the saddle however and he'll be fitter for some trials coming into this. Looks back on song and he can return on a positive note this time. LUCKY ARCHANGEL (3) has improved his past couple, beaten just 1.3L at Happy Valley last time out. He maps to get every chance again this time and he can put his best foot forward. SIGHT DREAMER (14) still has some upside and showed better signs last time out. Watch for him flying late.
