TAI LAM CHUNG HANDICAP
#10 The Good Deal presents as an interesting prospect, as Zac Purton teams up with Douglas Whyte on this seven-year-old. From barrier 1, he’s set for a cleaner run after a troubled trip last start, where he lost ground early and remained at the back. #8 Ho Ho Star might offer value after being the favourite in his last two runs with Purton; now with Brenton Avdulla aboard from barrier 4, he’ll enjoy a more favourable draw than the wide gate he had at Sha Tin last start. #3 Winning Heart raced wide without cover in his Class 5 debut but should benefit from barrier 2 this time. #1 Joyful Life has shown promise since dropping in class and, though a late check last start dashed his chances, he should rebound here.
