GOING: G

HKU FOUNDATION HANDICAP 1000m

Track: AW      

Strong pace from Metro Power and Parents' Love pushing forward, along with Ten Loves. SUPER STRONG KID (5) dropped back to this trip last start and failed, though he did pull up with an issue there. He's since trialled well and he rates highly on the form he was in prior. Still looks a nice gelding on the way up and he can return with a bang. INVINCIBLE STEED (7) is on debut in Hong Kong after being trained by the Corstens & Larkin partnership in Australia. His last trial was very impressive over this course and distance and he showed some quality whilst racing in Australia. Can make an impression in his new surroundings. STRAIGHT TO GLORY (4) flew over the top to win as a $21 chance last start over this course and distance. The inside draw again this time should see him out of trouble and he's expected to be doing his best work late once again. LUCKY CANDY (12) just missed last start behind Straight To Glory and the outside draw is a big tick for the straight course. Will take catching.
