HUNG MUI KUK HANDICAP 1200m Track: FIRM |

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

Hot tempo expected from Matters Most and Alpha Strike. SZERYNG (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after having a rocky run from a wide gate. He is much better off with his gate this time, and maps to be the one to beat. AURORA PATCH (4) is putting together some solid results since joining the Manfred Man stable. He finished second at Sha Tin All Weather two starts back, then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Go again. ALPHA STRIKE (5) was comfortably accounted for when racing too keenly and finishing well back last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Likely improver with each-way prospects. CELESTIAL HERO (1) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell, then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, finishing closer in sixth place. Stick with him to boost any top 4 combos.
