WAN CHAI GAP HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo set by Harmony N Blessed. COLOURFUL KING (11) steps up to 1200m for the first time today but it doesn't look an issue on his recent performances. He's a 3YO on the rise, just missing out as the odds-on favourite over 1000m here most recently. He maps to get his chance from the draw and he looks primed to run another big race on the back of a nice trial recently. AURORA LADY (1) steps back up to 1200m today where all of his career wins have come. He too has turned in a nice trial coming into this and he should be close to the speed from an inside barrier. Racing in top order and is sure to make his presence felt. HORSEPOWER (5) was far too good over 1000m last start and is another up to 1200m for the first time. He's building an impressive record and Purton sticks from the latest trial which was over 1200m. Can make an impression. STELLAR EXPRESS (9) won well from the front over 1000m last start and can go close up in trip today.
