Race 1️⃣ Kung Hei Handicap (Class 5) 1200M A tricky opener where I’ll fire two darts at the prize. SPEEDY FORTUNE makes a relatively swift return following a fine second to Plentiful at Happy Valley. His sole win in 29 starts came over C&D, back in 5/23 when trained by John Size. Now with David…

Race 1️⃣ Ashley Handicap – Class 5 A tough race to start the day. The eye is drawn to Precision Goal and Joyful Champion, 2nd and 3rd respectively over track and trip last time. The latter is slightly better off at the weights but from 54 starts, they have just two victories between them. Though…

R1 – FWD Insurance Act Private Handicap 2000M (Class 4) Eighth of the 14 strong field contested a similar event this month, won by Winning Steps for Pierre Ng, currently leading the Trainers’ Ranking. The vote goes to SHARPEN BRIGHT(Next Best), fourth in that contest but a winner two back, at Happy Valley. He remains…

R1 – KUNG HEI HANDICAP (CLASS 5) 1200M The vote goes to GREAT DAYS, 0-10 for Pierre Ng but well drawn and on a career low mark. R2 – FAT CHOI HANDICAP (CLASS 5) 1400M A chance is taken on MASTER OF LUCK, a C&D winner last season off the same mark, from the same…

R1 – FENWICK HANDICAP Weighing in at 996Ib, Palace Pal drops into the basement grade for the first time. Despite the impost of 135Ib he has to be considered under Hugh Bowman. In this tough opener I’ll pick another alliteration with HAPPY HERO for Mark Newnham. The Pierro gelding has yet to build on his…

R1️⃣ – BEACON HILL HANDICAP The suggestion is DAILY TROPHY to make the breakthrough on start number eleven. His recent improvement has come on dirt but the Caspar Fownes 4YO drops in class, is well drawn and Ellis Wong takes 10Ib off. The selection is unexposed on the surface and his penultimate start, a respectable…

R2️⃣ – PRIX DE LA BARELIERE An interesting race for the ‘boys’ with DOLLAR INDEX the top pick for Mathieu Brasme. The son of Kendargent made an excellent debut for second over C&D last month, form boosted when the fifth, AGAT, went on to win last week. The selection is taken to go one better…

R1 – MURRAY HANDICAP (CLASS 5) (3YO+) 1800M A tough opener where I’ll take TURTLE AGAIN, a son of Proisir in rude health for Benno Yung. An authoritative C&D winner in November, he was narrowly defeated by Colourful Baron last time but well drawn to turn the tables under Derek Leung. R2 – JACKSON HANDICAP…
