GOING: G

KOWLOON TSAI HANDICAP 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Not much early speed of note and Double Win and Etalon Or may find themselves setting a steady tempo. ETALON OR (1) steps up to the mile for the first time but it looks as though the extra furlong will suit. He's been running on well from the back recently, knocking on the door of a maiden win. Ticking along nicely and can get the job done this time. RAGING RAPIDS (9) is another stepping up to the mile for the first time, but rates well on his most recent run over 1400m. He finished off well there, though the draw is a niggle. Has upside though and may relish the rise to the mile. FORTUNE BOY (8) improved nicely last start up to 1400m and has turned in a sharp trial since. Up to the mile now looks a big tick for him and the winkers go on first time. Can shed the maiden tag. MISTER DAPPER (4) missed as favourite here last start following a 1.8L win two back. Better than he showed last start and can return to form.
