GOING: G

YEONGCHEON HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Colonel and Spicy Spangle possess good early speed. NEBRASKAN (5) finished runner-up for the second time in a row here last time out over 1200m at this track. He has been given a trial since then and is well placed to go one better. YEE CHEONG SPIRIT (1) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when ninth over this journey at this track. The key this time is having Zac Purton in the saddle. A form reversal is on the cards. HAPPY TRIO (3) has raced himself back into form, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. He has a good draw and can figure in the top 3 again. LUCKY ARCHANGEL (4) ran a much better race at Sha Tin just over 3 weeks ago when finishing third. His record on this track is much better, and now that his confidence is back, he is worth including in all combinations..
