GOING: G

TAN SHAN RIVER HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Superb Capitalist, Harmony N Blessed and Sing Dragon will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Copartner Prance. COPARTNER PRANCE (3) made it five in-a-row last start at Sha Tin with a gutsy performance against some handy gallopers, winning by 0.2L. He draws better this time around and while he does rise in grade, he's obviously a very smart racehorse. Can stalk a solid tempo and power over the top late. SUPERB CAPITALIST (1) is looking for the hat-trick following an all-the-way 1.3L victory here 35 days ago. He's trialled well since that effort and he should be prominent again with the inside alley. Expecting him to take plenty of catching. SING DRAGON (8) was a little plain last start and comes back to The Valley for this event. Racing well though and must be included along with GUMMY GUMMY (5) whose recent form puts him right into winning calculations.
