GOING: G

THE LONGINES HONG KONG SPRINT 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Ka Ying Rising to set a decent tempo from inside barrier, kept busy by the speedy duo Win Carnelian and Beauty Waves. KA YING RISING (1) showed no ill-effects of his travel to Australia with a dominant win in the G2 Jockey Club Sprint last time out, running away to win by 2.8L. He looks ready to go to another level again now and the inside draw won't be an issue for him. Purton will keep him out of trouble and he can extend his winning streak. SATONO REVE (2) gets Moore in the saddle today after a solid performance in the Sprinters stakes at Nakayama. He almost got Ka Ying in this race 12 months ago and was solid behind him again in April. He looks the next best in this field. HELIOS EXPRESS (4) has been just plain by his standards this time in work but he is known to peak third-up into the campaign. He went close to winning this 12 months ago and if he can bounce back to his best, he'll go close. FAST NETWORK (6) was strong in the lead up here under McDonald and can finish in the placings again.
