GOING: G

LEI YUE MUN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD     out 4 metres  

Plenty of early pace to be established by Affirm and Robot Knight, with Triumphant More close at hand. TRIUMPHANT MORE (1) was very good on debut, winning narrowly over this course and distance and he'll derive plenty of benefit from that performance. He's shown good talent throughout and while he rises in weight, he can continue to improve with racing. Looks set to go back-to-back. SPICY SO SMART (11) held on when leading throughout to score here 17 days ago and rises into C4 today. While this is tougher, he drops 6kg and he maps to be prominent from the inside alley. Sure to take plenty of catching with a light weight on his back. AFFIRM (10) is another who likes to roll forward and he draws a much better gate this time around. Back to 1200m is a little niggle, though he has plenty of early speed and he's sure to be strong to the line. GLORY CLOUD (3) just missed behind Triumphant More last start and did jump favourite ahead of him. Include.
