Hong Kong Plays 2020-21

[Kitan]

Thanks ADJMK and casp... Not the most exciting mid-week HV card...

Race 1:
#11 Tigerlad began to find some form towards the end of last season before putting in a stinker over a yielding surface. Based on his trackwork he didn’t seem fully cranked for his return run last out but still ran a decent 5th. Can definitely improve on that.

#8 Wonder Brahma should find this 1200m distance more suitable, but this is now his third run in the past 2.5 weeks.

Race 3:
#6 Carry The Diamond did not disgrace himself in either of his two career starts down the ST straight and comes over to HV where he has trialled nicely leading into this.

Race 5:
#4 Telecom Rocket arguably would have won last time with a clean run in the stretch. Hopefully a bit more room opens up for him this time around.

#1 Hercules blew them away last time in his season opener and will be tough to beat if he repeats that performance.

#5 Oriental Elite ran well enough going longer at the end of last season. Returned to sprinting off the layoff and the run looks better than on paper---tough trip and fast closing sectionals. Looks a good price add if he can get a good trip from post 9.

#2 Won Ball has done absolutely nothing since arriving in HK, but his recent trials have been improved and worth adding underneath at a monster price.
