POINSETTIA HANDICAP
#10 Bottomuptogether put up a determined effort two starts ago when narrowly beaten by Wunderbar. He then stepped up to 1400m but pulled up with blood in the trachea, which explains his below-par performance. Back at 1200m and with an inside gate, he can turn the tables on Wunderbar, who has drawn wide this time. #2 Wunderbar returns to his winning trip of 1200m after a last-start defeat over 1000m to Magic Control, a rising star. #6 Gorgeous Win has had two forgivable runs at Happy Valley and should find conditions more favourable back at Sha Tin. One to improve. #7 Raging Blizzard didn’t seem to handle the all-weather last time according to his rider. Returning to turf and with a likely fast pace to suit, he’s capable of causing a boilover.
