summary
There are a couple of horses that look like they’ll be worth outlaying on here. BELLAGIO caught my eye when he resumed fresh-up. That day (race 41) he ran sixth but delivered a race fastest last-200m of 12.02 in an event that has seen three of the horses that finished in front of him win at their next starts (Impeccable Fellow – third, Fortunate Runner – fourth and Pakistan Friend – fifth). In addition Bellagio will be fitted with blinkers, is an improved and has plenty of upside. The other horse that shapes as a good over is CARE FREE PRINCE. He stuck on quite nicely last start and even though he’s drawn wide today he looks one of the likely go-forward horses that might not receive much pressure. CORDYCEPS won second-up last preparation and he didn’t get all favours fresh up. He’s a horse that steps up in distance and should have a bit more to give this prep being lightly tried overall. HAPPY SEBRING was a bit disappointing fresh up, but I think he’ll be much better back to 1400m and Sha Tin. Like Cordyceps he won second-up last preparation. Bellagio is the main bet here and is the “each way play of the day”.
