GOING: G

SHING PING HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD
Pace strong from Forever Glorious and Satirical Glory vying for the lead closely attended by Special Hedge. JOY OF SPRING (3) capped off some strong form when posting his first local win at Sha Tin 11 days ago when coming with a well-timed run to score by a head. He has a superior gate this time and was allowed to race a lot closer to the pace last time out. He rises 3 kilos in weight but is still the one to beat again. SATIRICAL GLORY (4) broke his win drought at Sha Tin in his penultimate run and then was fourth as favourite here last time out after racing keenly throughout. He cops another wide gate but is likely to be in the finish again. Stick with him. PRECISE EXPRESS (6) is a handy veteran who may not be as reliable as he once was but did run his best race in a while when finishing close up in third place on this circuit just over 3 weeks ago. He will make full use of the pole position and is again a solid each-way chance. FOREVER GLORIOUS (5) has turned a corner with his form lately and should have finished closer than fifth last time out. Watch closely. Can win.
