DEEP WATER BAY HANDICAP 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a solid pace with Silver Spurs, Looking Bright and Tourbillon Golfer leading the charge. MATZDEN (4) produced a strong first-up effort at Sha Tin, chasing home a smart type to finish second over 1200m. That run should have him peaking for this, and his best figures make him the runner to beat. BITS SUPERSTAR (10) can improve quickly after an interrupted first-up run where he never really had the opportunity to show his turn of foot. Zac Purton takes the ride and the race map will suit him, and he can make his presence felt. SILVER SPURS (7) gets the inside gate and he has enough early speed to make full use of his advantage. He could prove difficult to reel in if he gets the chance to dictate the pace to his liking. MAJESTIC DELIGHT (12) failed to fire fresh at Sha Tin but is better suited returning to Happy Valley. The inside draw is another positive and he can bounce back at a price.
