GOING: G

FAT CHOI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Good pace headed by So My Folks, Elite Golf and Better And Better, with Eternal Richness and Superb Boy close by. GOOD LUCK HAPPY (6) flew home from the back to finish 1.8L off the winner at Happy Valley last time out. Getting onto the bigger Sha Tin circuit looks to suit him better and Purton remains in the saddle. Drops in weight a touch and he can go one better this time around. ELITE GOLF (1) sat on the speed throughout last time out and got the job done at this track and trip 39 days ago. He's been back to the trials since where he was given a quiet hit out and he looks a nice horse on the rise. Has the speed to roll across from out wide and can play a leading role. BETTER AND BETTER (14) jumped favourite here last time out, finishing 2.3L off the winner when tiring late in the race. He's been back to the trials since where he looked good and Guyon sticks from that outing. Can feature in the finish. BABY SAKURA (7) has impressed at the trials recently and is not to be discounted on debut.
