CHEK LAP KOK HANDICAP
#7 Raging Blizzard resumed with a very promising third-place finish behind Copartner Prance. He peaked on his run around the 50m mark, indicating there’s plenty of improvement to come as he progresses this preparation. #6 Gorgeous Win was backed into favouritism in that race but endured a luckless run, racing very wide without cover throughout. Despite this, he was only beaten just under four lengths, a commendable effort. #4 Lucky Encounter possesses early speed to secure a handy position from barrier 2, and his last-start second to Copartner Prance suggests he’s poised to return to winning ways. #1 Son Pak Fu showed encouraging improvement in a recent trial and will relish a fast-run race, which appears likely here. Look for him to be charging home late.
