GOING: G

THE HKSAR CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S CUP (HANDICAP) 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of on speed runners engaged so a strong tempo is expected. The return of the World's Best Horse KA YING RISING (1) is an exciting one with The Everest locked in for this speedster. He's taken all before him and his two trials back this time have been scintillating. Has to give them all weight, but he's expected to keep his winning streak alive. LUCKY WITH YOU (3) looks a sneaky chance after performing at this level last campaign, scoring a Class 1 win by 1.5L when at the top of the weights. He disappointed in his runs at Group level following that, but he looks extremely well placed at the weights and he can put his best foot forward. VICTOR THE WINNER (5) showed that he may be clawing his way back to form at the end of last campaign with a much better performance in The Premier Cup at G3 level. He's had a nice trial coming into this and now he finds himself right down in the weights. In the mix. BEAUTY WAVES (4) won two on-end to finish last season and can continue that form on the back of a handy trial recently.
