EASIER TASK FOR FAST NETWORK

March 8 Hong Kong Sha Tin) preview

- 

RACE 1 (1,000M)

13 Heroic Master is one to keep an eye on first-up on a stable switch.

While his recent form has gone off the boil, his race experience can count for plenty in a field full of inexperienced runners. He maps for a good run from barrier II.

7 Mapogo has trialled well for his debut and arrives off six unbeaten trials, three in Hong Kong and three in Australia. He will be well fancied to win straight up.

12 Loving Vibes is another stable switcher, from Francis Lui to Mark Newnham, and the same angle applies. His experience and recent efforts stack up well in this company, even if his best exposed form has been at Happy Valley rather than this track and trip.

4 Dragon Hall needs a cleaner jump second-up, but he did good work late on debut and barrier 14 for a rails run is key.

RACE 2 (1,400M)

1 The Concentration has thrived since the blinkers went on four starts ago, following back-to-back thirds with back-to-back wins.

Barrier 1 and the booking of Dylan Browne McMonagle should give him every chance to stay in the fight for a hat-trick.

8 Windicator Family makes his first start for Cody Mo with the tongue tie added, and barrier 2 gives him a much kinder set-up than the wide draw he faced last time. An encouraging trial since adds to the case.

9 Draco has been consistent this season, placing third three times from six starts, and he returns fresh after trialling nicely.

3 Bling Bling Genius was disappointing at Happy Valley last time. But the switch to 1,400m at Sha Tin can help him rebound, especially with Hugh Bowman taking the ride.

RACE 3 (1,200M)

II Juicy Dragon finished alongside One Man Show last time after meeting traffic late, and his recent efforts suggest a win is not far away. A sound trial between runs and a jockey switch to Andrea Atzeni have him looking poised.
