GOING: G

AUTEUIL HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD
Plenty of early pressure primarily from Dragon Kingdom and Eagle Run. YEE CHEONG WARRIOR (1) just missed at Sha Tin when steaming home over 1400m, beaten 1L. Now out to this course and distance where all 3 of his career victories have come. Gets a big push with Purton remaining in the saddle and he can go one better this time around. BIG TWO (5) wasn't far away over this track and trip last time out, beaten 0.8L when in the market. Hugh Bowman takes the ride this time and he's drawn to get every chance from the low alley. Racing well and he's sure to put himself in contention again. MASTER OF LUCK (2) disappointed last time out when finishing behind Big Two, but he was a good winner here prior to that. Likely to get back from the wide draw again, but Avdulla knows him well and he can be finishin off strongly. DRAGON DELIGHT (6) hasn't been far away of late and has shown good versatility. Won't be far away.
