SWEET ORANGE HANDICAP 1650m Track: GOOD TO YIELDING |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo from Sky Deep leading Ivy League. GORGEOUS VICTORY (8) is on the cusp of a maiden win, missing as an odds-on favourite last start when going under in a photo. He's had a quiet trial since and Purton sticks with him after the narrow defeat last time. May be better suited out in trip now and he can land the knockout blow. SKY DEEP (1) went close two back before a 3.5L defeat over the mile at Sha Tin most recently. Untried at this track and trip, but has the speed to dictate from the front. Should give a bold sight and his best form stacks right up. LIGHT YEARS GLORY (3) is another who steps up in trip for the first time, finishing off nicely over 1400m last start when settling well back from the barrier. A better barrier this time can see him closer in the run and he's sure to make his presence felt. PRESTIGE RICKY (9) is racing well without winning and can't be left out of calculations.
