R2 THE KWANGTUNG HANDICAP CUP (HANDICAP)

-


Sha Tin (M3) - Sunday, 9 September 2018

17:20 HK TIME

summary


There are just five runners assembled for this event, which is highly unusual for Hong Kong. In any case, the lack of entries inspired Richard Gibson to enter RATTAN late in the piece. This should prove to be a good move as Rattan backs-up from a very solid run last week under top-weight. Today, the rise in grade, drop in weight and the run under the belt all clearly point towards him being the hardest to beat. He is a talent with upside. The recent trial of ROMANTIC TOUCH was sound work and he appears to have come back in good form. This looks a race for Rattan however.
