DAHLIA HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD |

From wide out Kingly Demeanor can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. RELIABLE DAD (6) has been finishing off strongly from the back of the pack in recent efforts and has been kept up to the mark with a recent trial. Orman sticks from that trial and he comes to this track and trip for the first time. Wouldn't surprise to see him sit closer this time around and he can pick up his maiden win. AMAZING GAZE (4) flew home over this trip at Sha Tin last time out, finishing 1.3L off the winner. he draws better this time around and jumped favourite here two starts ago. He can roll forward from the draw and he can get the job done this time. ACE WAR (3) was far too good over 2200m at this course last time out and drops back to 1800m today. Purton remains in the saddle with the drop in trip and the rise in weight doesn't look an issue. Can sit handier today and repeat the dose. OCEAN IMPACT (5) is inching closer to a win and returns to his preferred track and trip.
