GOING: G

HKU FACULTIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND SCIENCE HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine tempo from Hakka Radiance leading Kingly Demeanor. PING HAI COMET (3) made it back-to-back wins with an impressive 2L victory over the Sha Tin mile last start and is on the quick turnaround. The inside draw is a big tick and the rise up to 1800m is no issue. Hard to ignore his past couple of efforts and he can bring up the hat-trick. DOUBLE WIN (9) was flying late under Chadwick to just miss by 0.3L at this track and trip 27 days ago. Wouldn't surprise to see him sit closer this time around and if he can run up to his recent efforts, he'll be hard to hold out. HAKKA RADIANCE (13) disappointed last start behind Ping Hai Comet after being in strong form in his runs prior. Back to 1800m today is an interesting move, but he remains down in the weights and he'll make his own luck up on the speed. PERFECT PAIRING (7) is racing in top order and jumped favourite ahead of Ping Hai Comet when beaten at his last start. Orman rides now and he can play a major role.
