THE CHINESE RECREATION CLUB CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) 1200m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Bigtime Generation to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SUPER STRONG KID (3) impressed with a good win last time over 1000m down the straight course at this track. Zac Purton stays aboard, and he drops in weight. If he can see out 1200m, then he can win again. YEE CHEONG GLORY (11) returns after an eight-month break, having won on debut over 1200m at this track. He finished runner-up at his only other start and will be a lot stronger this season. A recent trial win suggests he's ready to rumble. ALSONSO (7) showed good speed to lead and finished a solid third when resuming over 1000m at this track. He steps back up to 1200m, and should produce another honest effort. FLYING KNIGHT (8) needed his resuming run over 1200m here, and will be a lot tighter in condition for this. He is likely to be at good odds and can boost any combination wagers. Each way value.
