THE CHAIRMAN'S SPRINT PRIZE 1200m Track: GOOD True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo expected with Ka Ying Rising prominent. Expecting to see KA YING RISING (1) continue his winning ways. He's turned in a career-best figure last start when beating similar opposition and there's nothing to be running scared of here. He's a classy animal who can continue his reign as the World's Best Sprinter. SATONO REVE (2) comes here off a strong win fresh in Japan. He was a $33 chance in December, but he's in much better form now and back to his old self. Runner-up in this last year with Moreira on board and he looks the main danger. HELIOS EXPRESS (3) has proven he's no match for KYR, but he has beaten Satono Reve 2-1 in the three times they've faced, the latest here in December. He was clearly second best last start in The Sprint Cup and can finish in the money yet again. FAST NETWORK (4) snuck into the placings in December and the blinkers go back on now as he returns to the sprint trip. Worth including. RAGING BLIZZARD (5) finished runner-up in the G1 in December and is not to be discounted.
