SHANTOU HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo likely from Mr Desira and Lucky Twenty. MR DESIRA (4) just missed first-up but got the job done here last time out when holding on to score by 0.2L. He was favourite there and he drops back to 1000m today. Up in weight, but looks a horse on the rise and he can continue to build. LEAN MASTER (3) gets Britney Wong in the saddle now, taking a few kgs off the gelding following a 1.3L defeat most recently. Likely to be up front again from a handy barrier and he'll prove tough to run down. HEALTHY HEALTHY (1) drops back to 1000m now after tiring late over 1200m at Sha Tin last time out. The inside draw is a big tick and dropping back in grade today looks an ideal move. Can return to winning ways now in what looks a suitable event. HARMONY FIRE (5) is better than he showed last start and can show good early speed from the draw and make his presence felt.
