GOING: G

LEI YUE MUN PARK HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ariel. CHILL KAKA (9) scored back-to-back victories last start with a 0.5L win as favourite last time out. He's gone to another level since stepping up to this distance and Purton retains the ride. Drops in weight and he's a horse on the rise who can notch up the hat-trick. DRAGON AIR FORCE (7) just missed last start in a photo finish after running on boldly from the back of the pack. He's likely to get back once more, but he's ticking along well and steps up t this trip for the first time now. Live chance. TALENTS AMBITION (1) looks ready to fire on the back of two good trials coming into this with Bowman remaining in the saddle from those trials. Drawn to effect and can make his presence felt. NEVER PETER OUT (4) is racing in good order and just missed last start and has trialled well since. Can go close again.
