GOING: G

HAWTHORN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Parents' Love and Colourful Prince the likely leaders. GRAND NOVA (5) ran his best race yet when running on into second down the straight course at Sha Tin nearly 4 weeks ago. He has trialled since then and should go close to taking this out. MA COMET (2) has turned the corner lately and has carried through some good trial form to the races with back-to-back second placings on this track. He lands a handy draw and can go one better this time. COLOURFUL PRINCE (1) was a big winner here 4 starts back and his next 3 starts have all been in stronger company. He slides down a class and only has to overcome a sharp weight rise to be a big threat here. VICTORYTHIRTYTHREE (6) will be peaking third up and gets a chance to show something. A market watch is advised.
