THE HONG KONG UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) 1400m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Aeroinvincible, World Hero and Harold Win pushing across. HAROLD WIN (1) stepped up to 1650m last start and didn't see out the longer journey. His form over this track and trip was superb prior and he was knocking on the door of another victory. Can land in a handy position and a return to his best form will see him hard to hold out. LUCKY ARCHANGEL (5) has been around the placings in recent starts and steps up to 1400m for the first time in his career. His recent figures suggest he can measure up in this event and he has shown versatility in his past. Can land the knockout blow without surprising. ENDUED (4) just missed by 1L in a good race at Happy Valley when in the market and the form out of the race has been franked. Bowman remains in the saddle and he never really got into the race at his only try at this track and trip. Worth keeping on side. STRANGE ALERT (6) makes his debut and has shown enough in his last couple of trials to suggest he can feature.
