THE HONG KONG CHINA RUGBY CUP (HANDICAP) 1650m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo on the cards with Do Your Part taking charge. WIN METHOD (10) made it back-to-back wins last time out when winning by 0.5L after leading the field up as the $2.80 favourite. He rises in grade today, but he drops 5.5kg today and he should be prominent in the run from the barrier again. Has gone to another level since stepping up to 1650m and he can continue on his winnings. DO YOUR PART (4) continues to race well after winning back in November. He just missed over this course and distance last time out when close to the speed and Ferraris sticks with him. Can be close to the speed again and make his presence felt. CALIFORNIA MOXIE (7) won nicely two back but didn't have things to suit last start when the race favourite at this track and trip. Will need the speed to be on, but if they run along up front then he'll be storming home. BEAUTY ALLIANCE (1) just missed when back to this trip last start and now gets Purton back on board. Big chance.
