YOUNG CHAMPION EYES THIRD WIN

Nov 24 Hong Kong (Sha Tin) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,400M) 6 Super Wise Dragon is a known 'roarer' but he has enough ability to win if health stays good. With a low draw and a modest field, he has a lot in his favour.

11 Fire Ball has been knocking on the door with two close finishes. A good trial between runs adds confidence for this.

3 Hoss steps into Class 5 with the notable booking of James McDonald, but his record over 1,400m remains the query.

10 So Awesome has not won in over 500 days, but has shown enough in two encouraging runs this campaign to warrant consideration.

RACE 2 (1,000M) 2 Grand Nova will be fitter than his first-up effort where he finished 10th but was not beaten far. His trial in between runs was ideal, and he has drawn perfectly for the straight course.

3 Ka Ying Resilience showed potential in two races last season and deserves respect based on his trials.

1 Fun Elite is a promising horse resuming. He has not been favoured by drawing gate 1 for the straight course, but he can produce an encouraging performance.

9 Run Yes Run wears blinkers for the first time, and his good trial in the headgear suggests he can improve.

RACE 3 (1,200M) 2 New Future Folks is a strong winning chance, drawing a better gate after wide barriers in his first three starts. Blinkers go on for the first time, following a superb trial in the headgear.

3 Packing Angel resumed with a solid second. Excellent form credentials for this.

4 Another World exceeded expectations on debut, running on well for seventh from a wide draw. With gate 2, he can step forward.

1 Roman Crown has been edging closer to a win since dropping to Class 4. Barrier 10 may pose a challenge, but the booking of McDonald is an advantage.
