GOING: G

SHA TSUI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Moderate tempo expected with Macanese Master likely to find the front over Colourful Winner and Sea Air Legend. SUPER LEGENDS (5) resumed in top order when bumping into a sharp winner first-up, beaten 2.3L at this course and distance. Fitter for that effort and he has been placed second-up in the past. Can put himself in a handy position and may prove too strong. COLOURFUL WINNER (2) will be fitter for the fresh run when beaten 3L down the Sha Tin straight and steps out to this trip for the first time which looks to suit. The form out of that race has stacked up and he can sit closer today. Expecting plenty of improvement stepping up in trip. YEE CHEONG RAIDER (7) disappointed at the end of last campaign when pulling up with an issue, though he was in good touch prior to that. His recent trial was strong and Vincent Ho hopping in the saddle is a big tick. Likely to be in the finish. POCHETTINO (3) was solid on debut at big odds and is worth thought.
