GOING: G

THE GUANGDONG-HONG KONG CUP (HANDICAP) 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Strong early tempo from the fliers Super Bonus, Affirm and Nebraskan. SIGHT HAPPY (7) has jumped favourite in his first two outings after some good trials leading in. The rise to 1200m looks ideal for him now and Teetan sticking is worth noting. Thinking he still has improvement to come and this looks a very suitable race for him. Can show what he's made of now. SUPER BONUS (11) sat up on the speed and got the job done narrowly last time out, winning in a photo finish. He has the speed to cross from a wide alley and if he gets an easy time of it out in front, he'll take plenty of catching. MR VALIANT (9) missed out by 1.3L over this course and distance 19 days ago and he didn't have the best of luck in the dying stages. Avdulla can get a similar run in transit this time around and he can go close to winning once again. AFFIRM (12) has been close on a number of occasions in his career thus far but is still chasing the elusive maiden win. Can press on from the wide draw and prove hard to run down.
