Oct 20 Hong Kong (Sha Tin) form analysis
-
 
 RACE 1 (1,600M)
8 Youth Power is intriguing on the quick back-up, having been narrowly beaten by 1/2-length into fourth behind Charmander on Oct 13. Barrier 1 will provide him with every chance.
1 Not A Few makes his debut in Class 5 and for David Eustace. The booking of Hugh Bowman is significant, and with some luck from barrier 10, he should go close.
13 Red Maverick led too quickly last start, and tired late. He has improved this season and could sneak into the money at a decent price.
5 Pakistan Friend reunites with Zac Purton, with the pair boasting a perfect 1-for-1 record together.
RACE 2 (1,400M)
6 Forerunner still performs well despite wide draws. Purton teaming up for just the second time this season makes a strong case.
1 Roman Crown drops into Class 4. He ran 10th last start, but he was not fully tested late.
9 California Moxie was eye-catching at his last start. Blinkers on.
2 Fashion Legend is dropping to Class 4. Should improve.
RACE 3 (1,400M)
8 Jumbo Fortune narrowly missed out on victory after encountering traffic problems in the straight. He appears ready to win.
2 Master Mastermind put it all together last start to score. The wide barrier raises some concerns, but Purton is the man for the job.
1 Ballistic Win will get a perfect run from his low draw. Can atone.
12 Yee Cheong Raider finished strongly into second first-up. Has an awkward draw, but he can make his presence felt late.
RACE 4 (1,200M)
