GOING: G

THE LUSITANO CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Jumbo Treasure can find the front. JUMBO TREASURE (1) shed his maiden tag last start at Sha Tin, winning by 2L after sitting on the pace and running away from his rivals. He draws better this time and he did trial well at this track prior to his debut. Looks to have good ability and can bring up back-to-back wins. NEW POWER (9) just missed last start at this track and trip, beaten 0.5L to continue his good run of form. He's knocking on the door of another victory and while the wide draw isn't ideal, his recent ratings stack up. Can land the knockout blow. DRACO (12) is a lightly raced gelding looking for his maiden win. He wasn't far behind a progressive type last start who has since won again. Back 200m won't be an issue and he'll be strong late in the race. FLYING WROTE (3) is racing in good order and can put his best foot forward with the aid of an inside draw.
