GOING: S

FWD INSURANCE ICBC (ASIA) HANDICAP 1200m Track: SOFT
The speedy Divano should find the front with Lifeline Express and Glory Elite on his heels. DIVANO (1) make every post a winner on debut, running away to score by 1.3L in fine style. The time was good there too and he has the pace to cross from a wide alley. Nice trial to keep him ticking over between runs and despite being a 20-1 chance on debut, he looks a horse destined to race in better company than this. LIFELINE EXPRESS (2) was no match for a dominant winner last time out. He does rise in weight off that effort, but he was a good winner here two back and Hugh Bowman now takes the ride. Should get a lovely run from a favourable alley today and can return to the winners stall. HAPPY FOR ALL (9) was strong from the back to run into second behind Divano last time out and has been back to the trials since. McDonald hops back in the saddle and although he's drawn wide again, he does meet Divano better at the weights. Big chance. LUCY IN THE SKY (3) was good from the rear last start and has claims.
