FANLING HANDICAP
#3 Eason turned in an eye-catching first-up performance on his debut for trainer Ricky Yiu, running third after racing very wide without cover. With barrier 2 this time, he maps as the winner. #8 Romantic Son showed plenty of promise on debut, finishing just half a length behind in second. He looks primed to go one better with natural improvement. #2 Young Emperor was ultra-impressive on debut, defeating Romantic Son in style. He shapes as a serious prospect and benefits from a kinder draw in gate 3. #4 Gustosisimo jumped only fairly last start and couldn’t muster early speed but closed well for fourth after being held up on the turn. While he has barrier 10 to overcome, his strong form bodes well.
