07:00 – Race 1 | Class 5 | 1650m
Selections: 10/8/4
CHARMING STEED has shown a preference for the All-Weather this season. He has cracked a neat draw and Vincent Ho will give him all the necessary assistance in the saddle. SUPERB MOVE showed good improvement on this course last time. He can feature if getting across from the wide draw without using up too much energy.
07:30 – Race 2 Class 4 – 1400m
Selections: 5/2/10
WAR OF COURAGE produced a good second-place finish behind Voyage Samurai last time. He is well-drawn and should give another good account of himself. SIXTH GENERATION finished 2 lengths behind the top selection in the race mentioned above. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and there shouldn’t be too much separating them in the run down to the line.
08:00 – Race 3 | Class 3 | 1200m
Selections: 4/5/2
SING DRAGON is unbeaten from two starts on the All Weather. He is in search of a hat-trick and is difficult to oppose on form. VICTORY MOMENTS continues his rivalry with the top selection. He is in a good space and could be one to fill the exacta spot. REWARD SMILE is returning from a 5-month layoff and the booking of Hugh Bowman suggests he is ready to go.
08:30 – Race 4 | Class 4 | 1000m
Selections: 13/6/5
PROSECCO just held on to beat RED ELEGANCE by half a length over this course and distance last time. It is encouraging that Karis Teetan has kept faith in the ride and it will be no surprise to see the combination go back-to-back. MULTISUPER showed good improvement last time and can run into the quartet.
09:05 – Race 5 | Class 4 | 1650m
Selections: 6/2/1
G LINER recorded two wins on the All Weather before his last run on turf. He should be one of the leading contenders in this line-up. BEAR SLAM finished 1.5 lengths behind the top selection last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and there shouldn’t be too much separating them at the wire. GALVANIC is nicely weighted with apprentice Wong aboard and must be included in all bets.
09:40 – Race 6 | Class 4 | 1200m
Selections: 2/8/6
SOLID SHALAA is in a rich vein of form. He followed up his recent win well and another honest performance is expected. HINOKAMI KAGURA finished 1.5 lengths behind the top selection last time. He is slightly better off at the weights and there shouldn’t be too much separating them in the run down to the line.
10:10 – Race 7 | Class 4 | 1600m
Selections: 1/5/11
LAUGH TALE finished just under a length behind CALIFORNIATOTALITY last time. He is 3.5kgs better off at the weights and can feature if getting some luck from the wide draw. FLYING MOJITO found one better in Lucky Gold last time. He has cracked a neat draw and should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
10:40 – Race 8 | Class 3 | 1200m
Selections: 7/4/11
CALL ME GLORIOUS followed up his debut victory with a good second-place finish behind Ka Ying Rising. He is a horse that is still on the upgrade and should be one of the leading contenders. SOLID IMPACT finished a length behind the top selection in the race mentioned above. The South African-bred PARTERRE must be included in quartets.
11:15 – Race 9 | Class 2 | 1800m
Selections: 6/7/9
CHILL CHIBI is a classy sort and he produced a good last effort in the BMW Hong Kong Derby. He will relish the drop back to 1800m and should take a power of beating. C P BRAVE finished 1.2 lengths behind THE BEST PEACH last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights which should be enough to turn the tables.
11:50 – Race 10 | Class 3 | 1400m
Selections: 4/3/11
MAGNIFICENT NINE finished a length behind PATCH OF THETA last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights and definitely represents decent each-way value for Hong Kong racing pundits. BEAUTY MISSILE is still winless but he finished half a length behind Superb Kid last time and a repeat of that effort should see him feature in the lucky last!
