Thanks.

thats the most interesting part of the card imo.
good question.
Will have to look at the pps to see who really wants 6f first, then try and gauge who wants(or has experience) around a turn.
my first thought is that it gives NAmerican horses like Fast Parade an advantage.

I have seen Takeover Target win at 1200 and around a turn in Japan,
so we know he is capable.
of the Australians,
I know I saw Red Oog settle and win around a turn in a Group 1 earlier this year.
I think it was at 1200.

and Scintillation has won at 1600 at Sha Tin,
so this distance should not be a problem.

one website(you may already know of this) that I will be studying over the next week is:
http://www.cxhkir.com/english/hkir20..._horseform.asp

has basic finish order, but most importantly, it has video of the contenders previous races.
