HKU HERITAGE HANDICAP 1600m Track: AW |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Mega Mastermind, Ping Hai Comet and Amazing Duck can set the pace. RELIABLE DAD (9) has been racing well back in the run recently, finishing off well at Happy Valley last start over 1800m. Back to the mile today shouldn't be an issue and his trial since his latest effort has been strong. Drawn well here and can notch up his maiden victory. LUCKY YEAR (5) went to another level last time out when missing by 0.5L at this track and trip 29 days ago. He finished off well from midfield there and the rating stacks right up. Just needs to reproduce something similar on top of the ground. BLING BLING GENIUS (6) is looking for the hat-trick after proving too strong from the front. He's gone to another level since getting up to this track and trip and he's shown good versatility. No reason why he can't go on with the job. MEGA MASTERMIND (2) disappointed at Happy Valley last start but his form here prior was very good. Now Purton hops on board and he can bounce back to winning ways.
