Nov 3 Hong Kong (Sha Tin) form analysis

KARMA READY TO STRIKE AGAIN

RACE 1 (1,800M) 2 Pakistan Friend steps up to his preferred distance after a solid third over the mile first-up. Can return to winning form.

1 Casa Legend brings consistent form to this field. He has the early speed to beat barrier 10 and find a handy position.

4 Fury And Gold had valid excuses last time on the all-weather track when his saddle slipped.

3 Chateau Le Peche returned to form last start with a strong third at this course and distance. Well placed in Class 5. Close to a win.

RACE 2 (1,200M) 1 Geneva finally broke through last start and can progress further. He has trialled nicely between races. Barrier 3 will offer him every chance under Hugh Bowman.

8 Packing Angel makes his second career start after a promising fourth on debut last term, and his trials ahead of this run have looked strong with Zac Purton aboard.

2 Victor The Rapid has been competitive in Class 3 with some excuses. He has the opportunity to capitalise in Class 4.

10 Great Spirit landed a solid betting plunge first-up with his maiden win, and second-up from barrier 1. Can score back-to-back wins.

RACE 3 (1,600M) 11 Soaring Bronco raced wide last start. He has since trialled well and looks ready to make his mark in a competitive contest.

5 Dragon Four Seas has not had much luck with barrier draws recently. A win is close, though.

3 Corleone ran a promising third on debut over 1,400m. Should appreciate the step-up to the mile.
