GOING: G

KWUN TONG HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Sky Deep has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SUNDAY'S SERENADE (4) looks ideally placed to return to the winner’s list after finishing his last campaign with a solid effort for second. His current mark is appealing, Zac Purton takes the ride and this looks a winnable assignment. Each way. SKY DEEP (2) should get every chance from barrier 1 and could find the front as there is not much known pace engaged here. He is peaking at the right time off a long break, and he can take this out. THE LION KING (11) sits right at the bottom of Class 4 and this looks a genuine opportunity to make his mark. There have been enough encouraging signs and Atzeni retaining the ride is a positive. Stick with him. ROMANTIC LAOS (7) has struggled to win but was only beaten by half a length over 1800m last time, and he can go close again. AMAZING GAZE (10) resumes after three months off and has been sharpened by two trials, including a recent placing. He can make a strong return, so keep him safe in all combos.
