Race 1. (21:30) Ventris Handicap (Class 5) 1650m
7 Windicator Family (Bet Now: $SP.00) should prove hard to beat after a fourth at this track/distance two weeks ago. He got a fair way off speed and worked home well enough without threatening. Love the booking of J Mac and strikes a winnable Class 5.
1 Lucky Blessing (Bet Now: $SP.00) is four weeks between runs since an all the way win at this track/distance when getting front end control and had enough in hand to score. Good racing style, he will look the winner for a long way.
5 Soaring Bronco (Bet Now: $SP.00) finished down the track three weeks back at this track/distance. He was quite keen in the run on speed and tried hard but he tired badly late. I think with a better run in transit, he can threaten at odds.
Race 2. (22:00) Morrison Hill Handicap (Class 5) 1200m
5 Podium (Bet Now: $SP.00) has found winning form and he can go on with it. Dominant win three weeks ago at this track/distance, giving them a start and a beating in an impressive effort. He’ll sit off a good speed and launch at them late, ideally finishing over the top.
1 Telecom Power (Bet Now: $SP.00) ran second in the race mentioned above. He was a month between runs and was off speed, chasing from a fair way out, but kept finding the line and was pretty good in defeat. Better for the run, he can win.
8 Shine Bright (Bet Now: $SP.00) has been given a mini let up since Oct 19 at Sha Tin when down the track, never really firing a shot. Tick over trial was quite good though so at odds, I think he can be an improver.
Race 3. (22:30) Canal Handicap (Class 4) 1650m
5 Aeroinvincible (Bet Now: $SP.00) on top in what looks a two horse race. He ran four weeks ago at this track/distance when getting into a good spot in transit just off the speed and tried hard but just couldn’t quite finish the job. Maps ideally and strikes a winnable race.
7 Bull Attitude (Bet Now: $SP.00) ran second in the race mentioned above. He got off the pace and chased with purpose in the straight but just couldn’t quite get there. Tricky draw but with the right run in transit, he can win.
2 The Azure (Bet Now: $SP.00) comes here with fresh legs, having not raced since Nov 2 at this track/distance when off speed and was never really a winning threat but kept chasing and was pretty good in defeat. J Mac on, he’s good enough to win.
Race 4. (23:10) International Jockey Championship (Class 4) 1000m
6 Cap Liner (Bet Now: $SP.00) looks extremely hard to beat for Jamie Richards. He has had two career outings, both coming down the straight at Sha Tin over 1000m where each time he has really caught the eye. If he handles the bending track, which he should, then he’s a clear top seed as far as I’m concerned.
5 Zeta Hedge (Bet Now: $SP.00) has been given a freshen up since a debut second at this track/distance on Oct 22. He was on speed throughout and gave a strong kick from the front but just felt the pinch. Good racing style it would appear and commands respect.
11 Bunta Baby (Bet Now: $SP.00) is three weeks between runs since a runner up effort at this track/distance when off speed and worked home with real purpose late in the piece. If within range, he has the finale to be dangerous.
Race 5. (23:40) International Jockey Championship (Class 4) 1650m
I think 3 Corleone (Bet Now: $SP.00) just has to run up to the last start win and he likely wins again. That came several weeks ago but he was dominant after getting a sweet trip in transit near the speed. Maps ideally once again and strikes a similar race. Keen.
2 Star Mac (Bet Now: $SP.00) comes back to the mile after racing over 1800m four weeks ago here. He got a fair way out of his ground and while he was never threatening, he kept chasing and was pretty good late. Just needs a ride from J Mac to be a threat.
6 Amazing Gaze (Bet Now: $SP.00) was a heavily backed favourite two weeks back at this track/distance but despite the market expectation, he didn’t really fire a shot and was a bit on the plain side. Prior efforts did suggest a win was nearby so I wouldn’t dismiss him.
Race 6. (00:10) Sports Handicap (Class 4) 1200m
2 Argento Ocean (Bet Now: $SP.00) has been given a few weeks break since a win over 1000m here where he got an all time ride by Bowman from the tricky gate and was impressive in the run to the line. 1200m should be fine and gets run of the race from the draw.
1 Sky Cap (Bet Now: $SP.00) is a Caspar Fownes trained gelding that resumes. He hasn’t raced since June 25 over 1000m here when off speed and worked home with purpose. 1200m fresh signals intent, Moreira booked…watch betting.
11 Power Summit (Bet Now: $SP.00) comes back to 1200m after racing over 1400m at Sha Tin where he was outclassed after sitting on speed. Better set up for him this time around, he could run top four at a price.
Race 7. (00:40) International Jockey Championship (Class 3) 1650m
3 Silvery Breeze (Bet Now: $SP.00) is knocking on the door to win and he strikes a winnable race. Last run came at this track/distance on Nov 5 when off speed and worked home strongly when second. Should lob into a good spot from the draw and be effective late.
2 Flying Fortress (Bet Now: $SP.00) was plain in his first two runs back, both at Sha Tin, before going to this track/distance when off speed and worked home strongly when second. Purton takes over, he is a key threat in what looks a winnable race.
8 Samarkand (Bet Now: $SP.00) is three weeks between runs since a track/distance win where he had front end control and gave nothing else a look in to win and win quite well. Good racing style and will be in it for a long way.
Race 8. (01:10) International Jockey Championship (Class 3) 1200m
It was a bit of an ugly watch if you were 5 Akashvani (Bet Now: $SP.00) two weeks ago at this track/distance. Not much went right for him in the straight and I think you can make a case he wins with clear air. If he gets it this time around, I think he’s the winner.
1 Kyrus Dragon (Bet Now: $SP.00) ran third in the same race mentioned above, which was won by King Miles. He got a fair way off speed but worked home with real purpose in a good effort in defeat. If he can get luck from the draw, he’ll be dangerous.
11 Never Too Soon (Bet Now: $SP.00) is several weeks between runs since racing at this track/distance when off speed and did make up some headway but was never really a factor. Ran a beauty first up and off that effort, he’s in the mix as a chance.
Race 9. (01:55) Wong Nai Chung Handicap (Class 2) 1800m
12 Bravehearts (Bet Now: $SP.00) is worth a throw at the stumps each way in the last. He comes back to 1800m after racing over 2000m at Sha Tin last start where he got back to near last in the run but worked home well enough without threatening. Better set up here I feel and you should get an each way price.
2 Speed Dragon (Bet Now: $SP.00) steps up to 1800m after racing four weeks ago over the mile here. He got too far back in the run but did make up ground in a good effort. If within range, he has the finale to be dangerous.
10 Numbers (Bet Now: $SP.00) is a very interesting runner. Former Aussie, named King Of Thunder, that is now in Hong Kong with eyes on the Derby. He was a handy stayer in Australia so it will be interesting to see how he goes. Trial work has been encouraging, watch the market.
