GOING: G

SHA TAU KOK RIVER HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine pace with Massive Action taking up the running ahead of Supreme Agility and Splendid Living. HELENE WARRIOR (5) turned in an impressive performance over this track and trip last start, bolting in by 2L. He only rises 1.5kg for the win and he maps to get a similar run in transit this time around. Building nicely since arriving in Hong Kong and can bring up back-to-back victories. CHAIN OF GOLD (12) closed off strongly from the back to finish 3.3L off Helene Warrior last start and now gets Karis Teetan in the saddle. He gets the winkers applied again today and he can settle closer than he did last start. Big chance at the bottom of the weights. GALLANT WAKING (4) was plain here last time out but is better than what he showed that day. Drawn well again today and Chau is fresh off a winning treble at Sha Tin on Sunday. Can make his presence felt. BEAUTY INFINITY (8) wasn't suited by the tempo last time out and it'll be interesting to see if Purton adopts different tactics. Can bounce back in a big way, nonetheless.
