SHEK SHEUNG RIVER HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Ka Ying Cheer leading from Happy Fat Cat and Telecom Speed. KA YING CHEER (9) has been close his past few over this track and trip, but gets plenty of favours today with the aid of an inside alley. He won't have to do as much work as we've seen in recent efforts and Badel has been riding well without winning lately. Still has plenty of upside and he can notch up another win in this suitable race. CALIFORNIA DEEPLY (7) gets Purton in the saddle following a 0.3L defeat here a fortnight ago. He's a hard horse to catch and hasn't won for 560 days now, but trust Purton to get things right and he'll be launching late in the race. KAHOLO ANGEL (1) is never far away and proved that last start when running on strongly from the tail of the field to just miss. The form out of that event has already stood up and he draws a better gate this time around. Can go a couple better without surprising. A AMERIC TE SPECSO (3) can be flashing late with Avdulla hopping back into the saddle.
