BEIJING HANDICAP
#8 Sunlight Power tackles Class 2 for the first time after a dominant first-up victory over this distance, winning by two lengths. Trainer Ricky Yiu believes his charge has more to offer and can join the city’s elite. #1 Copartner Prance steps up to 1400m for the first time in his career. He performed well first-up and will certainly enter this race as a fitter proposition. #5 Patch Of Theta enjoyed a successful last season, winning four of his ten races while never missing a placing. He, too, finds himself in Class 2 for the first time, but he is capable of measuring up. #9 Superb Boy is a model of consistency but may have reached his ceiling; he will need everything to fall into place to secure the win.
