GOING: S

SHOUSON HILL HANDICAP 1650m

Track: SOFT      

Pace genuine with Nebraskan booting up to lead. MIDORI FUJI (1) has been beaten in a photo finish his past couple of starts, flying home from the back to just miss out. Purton now takes the ride in a good push for his chances. Drawn sticky again, but should be right in the finish if he can run up to recent performances. WROTE A NEW PAGE (6) comes to this track and trip for the first time after a 3.8L defeat at Sha Tin most recently. He's still a 3YO with upside and his run two back at Sha Tin displayed that. Wouldn't surprise to see him go to another level now. DRACO (12) steps up to 1650m for the first time today after a solid effort over 1200m here last time out. The wide draw is a niggle, though if he can stretch his best ratings to 1650m, he'll be right in the finish. FLYING WROTE (4) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to form.
