Sha Tin Race 4 #8 G One Excellent $4.80
It is a competitive Class 5 race, G One Excellent, who gained 29 pounds after the summer break, looks a stronger contender.
This son of Makfi is very fit now and ready to break his maiden after 11 attempts in Hong Kong in the previous 2 seasons.
He was not beaten far when he was down in Class 5, he can also handle 1400m.
After transferring to Danny Shum stable, this horse improved a lot as shown in the recent barrier trial at Conghua.
Harry Bentley is having a good partnership with this current leading trainer, they should continue the good results with G One Excellent.
Sha Tin Race 8 #1 Czarson $6.00
Trained by Ricky Yiu who has a good season start, Czarson drops to Class 3 again today.
This 6YO only scored 1 win in Hong Kong so far, it was 2 years ago over this course and distance, Zac Purton rode him to win by 5L.
Czarson then failed to go further when he was up in Class 2, but it took some time for him to go down as he always finished close.
The Champion Jockey taking the ride again today is a huge advantage, especially the horse should be competitive at the current rating of 76.
The pace in this race should be fast with Flying Bonus, Call Me Teddy and Kai Xin Dragon leading, it is favourable for Czarson who jumps from gate 5 and expected to get the rail in the midfield.
