GOING: G

LUNG KONG HANDICAP 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Strong pace as Eighty Light Years pushes forward along with Run Run Smart from an outside gate. EIGHTY LIGHT YEARS (1) drops back in class today after a disappointing run at this track and trip most recently. He looks well placed here however from the inside draw and taking on easier company. Hewitson tends to ride frontrunners well and he'll be very hard to catch. HAPPY BOSS (3) won well two back before getting right out of his ground and ending up 4L off the winner most recently. He's since trialled nicely at Conghua and the better draw today is a big tick. Looks a nice gelding on the rise and can return to winning ways in what looks a suitable assignment. AMAZING DUCK (9) stuck on gamely from the front to be 0.8L off the winner last time out in a similar race. He maps for a similar run this time around for Kingscote and if he's able to dictate proceedings, he'll be in this for a very long way. BIG RETURN (10) is racing well without winning and can be running on strongly late in the race.
