HOLLY HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid pace with Lucky Symphony finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. NEW FUTURE FOLKS (4) settled in the second half of the field last start and finished strongly, missing out by 0.3L in a bold performance. This looks to shape similarly and the form out of that race has been franked. Building nicely this time in work and can go one better this time around. LUCKY SYMPHONY (12) comes here off a break and his trials leading in have been very good. Atzeni has been on board for his last two trials and remains in the saddle today. Up in grade today, but he rates highly and can take catching with no weight on his back. LOYAL BRIGHT (6) jumped favourite in his HK debut at Happy Valley on the back of some strong trials leading in. Getting back onto the more spacious Sha Tin circuit looks a key to his chances and he has the speed to roll across from out wide. Can make his presence felt. AURORA PATCH (9) is racing in top order and has to be included on his recent efforts.
