TIANJIN HANDICAP
#9 Winning Gold is a horse on the up, resuming and in pursuit of a hat-trick of wins. His big-margin victories in Class 4 will hold him in good stead as he steps up to Class 3. #1 Top Gun won on his Hong Kong debut last season, which is always a promising sign, but he had excuses in two subsequent runs. He looked well in his trial without being tested. #5 Lo Pan Spirit can improve second-up after a late-fading fourth on pace first-up. #8 The Heir has had plenty of chances to break through and will once again receive every opportunity to get on the board.
