LUCKY PATCH HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD TO YIELDING |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cracking tempo with Turquoise Velocity and Victor The Winner leading the way. VICTOR THE WINNER (5) got back to winning ways at this track and trip two starts back before a 1.3L defeat at Sha Tin. Back to the scene of the crime here with Purton sticking with the former G1 winner. Should find the front and be very hard to run down. YOUNG CHAMPION (4) has been narrowly beaten his past couple at Sha Tin, beaten 1.3L most recently. He's placed in both attempts over this course and distance and from a good draw, he'll be right in the mix. Can make his presence felt. TURQUOISE VELOCITY (11) dipped in form last start when tackling a wet deck, with his form prior stacking up. Carries no weight here, but can roll across from the draw and give a bold sight from the front. BOTTOMUPTOGETHER (2) gets Moreira on board today after some good performances recently. Draws the inside and should get every chance if good enough.
