Eighth Wunderbar Win In Line

June 28 Hong Kong (Sha Tin) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,400M) 4 Lucky Gold showed little interest from a wide gate on debut in Class 5, but barrier 2 gives him the chance to be ridden more positively. He can improve sharply.

3 Circuit Fiery was slow away on his first race in the grade and ran on well for third. Watch out with Zac Purton going on from gate 3.

2 Team Happy is one to follow on the drop in class. He made all in one of his two career wins and, with Ellis Wong booked, they may try to take control early.

6 Ninja Derby draws well in barrier 1 and maps to get a soft run. He is a chance off the right trip.

RACE 2 (1,200M) 4 King Oberon did it tough last start, caught wide without cover from the 800m when finishing second on his Class 5 debut. He draws barrier 2 this time and gets a great chance to go one better.

8 Spicy Knuckles resumes from gate 1 and looked well in a recent trial. His first run in Class 5 was an improved effort. In the mix.

12 Glorious Expert steps out for a new stable (Jimmy Ting), and is an intriguing runner at odds. He has had no luck in recent starts and could improve with new hands.

9 Super Elite resumes with blinkers back on and returns to a more suitable track and trip after five runs that did not suit. Capable of running a race fresh.

RACE 3 (2,000M) 2 Bravehearts closed strongly to fifth last start, making ground against a race shape that suited the leaders. He will not have to settle as far back and, with a softer run, he can bounce back for a win.

6 Gentlemen Legacy is building towards a breakthrough. He has posted back-to-back seconds, is fourth-up in Hong Kong, and gets Purton at the right time.

1 Fallon comes through the same race as Bravehearts and had excuses after being held up in the straight. Once clear, he hit the line well. Can figure with a cleaner run.

3 Family Jewel had a tough trip last time and the run is best forgiven. His earlier form is good enough to bring him back into contention.
