GOING: G

FAT CHOI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Fun N Fun Together possesses good early speed and should be prominent. YEE CHEONG GLORY (7) looks a smart horse on debut for the Jamie Richards stable with Zac Purton booked to ride. Purton has been on board for his last 3 trials and he sticks with the gelding today. He draws well and he can make a winning start to his career. KA YING RADIANCE (4) ran home strongly on debut over this course and distance when jumping favourite. He's trialled well since that effort and he again draws nicely today. Up in weight, but he has plenty of upside and he should be right in the finish. DRAGON FOUR SEAS (3) was far too good over this course and distance 19 days ago as he ran over the top to win by 0.8L. He's likely to get back again from the barrier, but he's improving with racing and he'll be flying late in the race. INVINCIBLE LUCKY (8) has plenty of versatility and has been very close to winning his past couple. Expected to be in the finish.

Gelding by Pariah facing the starter for the first time. Finished fifth in a Sha Tin AW trial over 1200m on January 23. Makes debut on home course and should get all the favours from the gate so can be competitive.

Jamie Richards trained four-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Won a recent Sha Tin trial. Inside barrier will assist chances. Makes debut on home track, jumps from a favourable gate and looks primed to play a major role.

Form hard to fault. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at this track on January 12 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Sunny Da Best carrying 56kg at $3.10. The start before that settled towards the rear 2nd of 12 at this track on January 1 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind The Boom Box with 54.5kg at $5.50. In form and is a leading hope.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign tenth of 12 at Happy Valley November 27 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Fatal Blow carrying 58.5kg at $6.20. First up last campaign third of 12 at Happy Valley September 25 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Spicy Gold with 57kg at $6.70. Has figured in the placings when fresh in the past but looks a bit out of his depth.
