GOING: G

THE HONG KONG REUNIFICATION CUP (HANDICAP) 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting Flaming Rabbit to take up the running with Wonder Kit and Superb Boy close at hand. GORGEOUS WIN (9) has bumped into a couple of sharp horses in his last two outings, but hasn't gone down without a fight. The winner of his last start has won again since, and Lyle Hewitson takes the ride this time around. He remains down in the weights and this looks a great opportunity for him to show what he's capable of. WONDER KIT (4) got into a walkers race last start where they went very slow out in front. Expecting there to be more tempo this time which should suit and Vincent Ho has been successful when riding previously. Drawn well again and can capitalise on his run of form. SUPREME LUCKY (5) stuck on well behind Wonder Kit last start when left flat footed as they sprinted for home. The wide draw today is sticky, but he's trialled well since that effort and a return to winning form wouldn't surprise. ATULLIBIGEAL (1) wasn't far away in G3 company last start and narrowly went under in a C1 two back. Brings the best formlines into this. Has to be included.
