GOING: G

SHA TSUI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Awesome Treasure to take charge ahead of Harold Win at a good tempo. KING OBERON (6) raced well first-up when closing off strongly to be 1.3L off the winner over this course and distance 13 days ago. He's still looking for his maiden victory, but he should be fitter for that run and he maps for a nice run once again. Looks the one to beat with improvement expected. EVERYONE'S CLASSIC (4) makes his debut today with Zac Purton in the saddle. He's been in the saddle for his last three trials and all of his siblings are winners. Drawn to get his chance and he's found a very suitable race on debut. LUCKY TOUCH (3) disappointed at the end of last season and has trialled sweetly in readiness for his return. He may need some luck from the draw, but he's lightly raced and has plenty of upside. Expected to be thereabouts. HAROLD WIN (2) just missed from up on the speed last start and draws a better gate this time. Inching close to his maiden win and it wouldn't surprise to see him get the job done.
