GOING: G

FO TAN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Moderate tempo with Ka Ying Attack leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. CROSSBORDERPEGASUS (1) did plenty wrong last start but still managed to win, scoring by 0.2L last start to build his impressive record. He's been back to the trials since and now gets some gear to straighten him up. Bowman hops back on board and he can continue his rise through the ranks. KA YING ATTACK (8) was only 0.5L off Crossborderpegasus last start and hit the line nicely in a recent trial. He meets that rival better at the weights and he too has plenty of upside. Maps to get his chance and is likely to play a major role. EVERYONE'S STAR (3) settled midfield and ran over the top to score by 0.8L last time out. Purton now hops in the saddle and he's been kept up to the mark with a recent trial. Sure to be there at the finish. YUEN LONG ELITE (5) can lead from an inside barrier and is sure to give a big sight from the front.
