GOING: G

THE HKEX CUP (HANDICAP) 1200m Track: GOOD
Hot pace certain with Hayday and Happy Park keen to take up the running. HIGH PERCENTAGE (1) was in top form before bleeding at the end of last campaign. He's had a spell and been back to the trial since where he was good to the line at this course. Zac Purton takes the ride on resumption and he should get his chance from the barrier. Can return to winning ways. GALLANT VALOUR (5) was solid on resumption when beaten 1.5L as favourite over this course and distance. Up slightly in weight today, but Bowman takes the ride and he's a second-up winner previously. Can improve now and is sure to go close. GLORY B (9) chased home a dominant winner last start over this course and distance. He draws well again this time and he's still lightly raced with upside. Can put his best foot forward. HAPPY SOUL (6) returned in good order and a winner has already come out of that event. Keep safe.
