GARDEN HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo expected with Enjoy Golf, Vigor Elleegant and Happy Park prominent. BIENVENUE (4) disappointed here last start on a wet deck when going around the $1.70 favourite and did pull up with an issue as well. Purton remains in the saddle however and he has the speed to roll across from a sticky barrier. Can bounce back to winning form. FORTUNE WHISKEY (3) just missed last start on the quick turnaround after jumping favourite at this track and trip. He can put himself in a handy position from a good draw and the claim of Wong gets him in nicely at the weights. Racing in good order and can go one better this time. ENJOY GOLF (2) is better than he showed last start when beaten 5L over 1400m at Sha Tin. The blinkers go on again today and the softer gate should help him. Bowman takes the ride now and he looks set to return to form. VIGOR ELLEEGANT (9) was too good for his rivals in easier company last start and has to be included.
