LUNG KONG HANDICAP 1400m Track: STANDARD |

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

California Bay has enough early dash to cross and run them along. PAPAYA BROSE (2) lands here on the back of an impressive debut performance, rounding up his rivals to win by 1.5L. He's been back to the trials since where he was sound under Bowman, who remains with him today. He did jump a 20-1 chance on debut, but the figures were strong and he'll be hard to fend off if he can repeat that effort. ENDEARED (1) creates plenty of interest coming back in class today with the booking of Purton. His last run over this track and trip was just 3 starts ago, where he flew late to be 0.3L off the winner as the race favourite. He'll be back in the run again but watch for him flying late. CALIFORNIA BAY (7) missed in a photo finish here a fortnight ago, jumping the $2.90 favourite. Atzeni rides now, and while he has drawn out he possesses good early speed. Can be in this for a long way. JUST FOLLOW ME (12) has claims off a strong performance last time out.
