GOING: S

VIOLET HILL HANDICAP 1650m

Track: SOFT      

Highland Rahy possesses good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. PRESTIGE GOOD (7) is on the quick turnaround after a dominant win here last week, leading and running away to score by 2.3L. He rises in grade, but he drops 4kg and can make his own luck up front again. On an upward trajectory and can continue to work through the grades. ANOTHER WORLD (3) is knocking on the door of another win, finishing 0.8L off the winner most recently over 1400m. He's placed at the mile once before at Sha Tin, and Purton now takes the ride. He's shown he can run the trip, he just needs to handle the City Circuit to be right in the finish. EXCELLENCE VALUE (5) went under by 0.5L most recently after a 1L defeat the start prior. He's back to 1650m today where he was in good form prior and he maps to get his chance. Can be right in the finish again. HIGHLAND RAHY (9) can lead off the inside barrier and will give a bold sight from the front.
