Race 1 - FAIRY KING PRAWN HANDICAP

10 Rising Phoenix finally gets the right set of conditions with a shift to Sha Tin and a rise to 1400m after two runs that read poorly but were far better than they looked. From an inside gate with Purton taking over, he is entitled to take a big step forward. 1 Endued is a fascinating runner fresh for the John Size stable. His form was trending upward when last seen and although barrier 12 is no help, remaining in Class 4 gives him every chance to make an impact with the stable switch. 8 Jubilation For All is a sneaky improver. His first-up run was much better than the ninth placing suggests after he was hemmed up until late, and his encouraging trial since hints at a forward move at odds. 2 Thousand Spirit adapted well to the class drop, controlling the race last start before being collared late.
