GOING: G

SHA TIN HOI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Slick pace with Incredible Moment finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LUCKY SYMPHONY (1) sat on the speed and ran away to win impressively off a freshen last start, winning by 1.8L at this track and trip. He's trialled well again since that victory and showed he has the speed to cross from out wide last time out. Can bring up back-to-back wins. DIRIYA (3) was solid on debut at this track and trip 34 days ago and has been freshened since then. Showed some ability prior to his debut and can play a major role. INCREDIBLE MOMENT (5) has led them up his past couple and faded late, but he did show some improvement most recently at Happy Valley. Pacifiers go on now and he'll put his best foot forward. KA YING WARRIOR (9) is better than he showed on resumption and gets Purton in the saddle now. Expected to be there at the finish.
