Trackwork notes.....
RACE ONE, RATED 40-20 (C5), 1,600 METRES
Spicy Hot has not galloped since his race last week but has come through it well and moved nicely in his canters this week. China Sportfield as done plenty of work since his first-up race and looks nice and bright. Frames Depot has also been improved by his first-up run and looked trimmer when seen out later in the week. Show Bravely has been working attractively and, like so many of the Me Tsui yard, he's in very good order.
RACE TWO, RATED 80-60 (C3), 1,600 METRES
Man In The Mirror has trialled strongly and also moved well in his final gallop. South Breeze has done some attractive work and stretched out nicely in his final gallop with Gerald Mosse on board. The Goodies is fitter for recent work, and a trial, and has been brought along well by his two gallops this week. Dr More had a race last week and been improved by it - he looked great when out cantering on Saturday morning.
RACE THREE, RATED 60-40 (C4), 1,600 METRES
Super Fantasy's work is fairly stock standard and he's maintained the work ethic in recent weeks. Super Ideal looks in outstanding order and has really caught the eye the last two occasion's he's galloped. Vincere is another who appears in great order and trainer John Moore has him ready to fire. Palette The best is improving quickly and has come on nicely after one run.
RACE FOUR, RATED 40-15 (C5), 1,4100 METRES
Cop Hill Lad had no luck when caught wide last week and is ready to perform second-up. Vital Patrol backs up and drops a class, and importantly the recent racing has had a calming effect on him. Withallmyheart looked a big stronger on Saturday when he came down attractively in his final gallop. Multi-Win Spirit has maintained the standard of his work, and Dragon Inn has done everything right - beaten but under a strong hold in his riverside gallop Thursday.
RACE FIVE, RATED 60-40 (C4), 1,400 METRES
Ferro Beau has been doing his galloping on the racetrack but will present as a very fit horse today. Headingly has been a substantial improver, showing his readiness with a defeat of Star Of Fame in his Saturday gallop. King Creole has also gone the right way and his recent work under Anthony Delpech has been attractive. General Speedee looks much better following two races and will give some cheek here with a postage-stamp weight.
RACE SIX, RATED 80-60 (C3), 1,000 METRES
Plezayre raced on Wednesday, tiring under his big weight of 132 pounds but will appreciate the claim here. Always Giggle went nicely in a riverside on Thursday and he too looks ready. Galbraith has won two barrier trials and this very good gallop looks set to add to his record. Cosmo Successor looked nice and loose in his final gallop - it was probably better work than the gallop before he resumed.
RACE SEVEN, RATED 100-80 (C2), 1,800 METRES
After a rocky start, Socrates has improved and his latest trial and final gallop were both satisfactory. Packing Winner is a galloping machine and he stretched out very well in a final gallop under Robert Mak on the all-weather track. Go Johnny Go has also improved since his first-up run and is ready to run an improved race. Bullish Cash held Electronics Spur at bay by ¾ length when they matched motors on Friday.
RACE EIGHT, RATED 95+ (G3), 1,000 METRES
Scintillation was never off the bridle in a recent all-weather trial over 1,200m. Natural Blitz flew down the riverside on Thursday. Sacred Kingdom went very well when second to Adaikali in a barrier trial. Adaikali's time in winning that barrier trial was the fastest over 1,050m for almost five years. Friendly Gains went well in his final gallop when ridden off his workmate.
RACE NINE, RATED 100+ (G3), 1,400 METRES
Able One was brilliant in winning a barrier trial last Tuesday. Stablemate Joyful Winner also quickened up nicely to narrowly win his trial. Down Town went smoothly under Douglas Whyte down the riverside on Thursday. Green Birdie has done three nice pieces of work since he resumed. Pocket Money has maintained his level of trackwork performance, and Tiber looks in great shape, nice and fresh.
RACE TEN, RATED 80-60 (C3), 1,400 METRES
Mutual Friendship worked stylishly down the riverside on Thursday. O'Reilly Rally packed a punch with his final gallop, a blistering 21.7 seconds for 400 metres. Paul O'Sullivan has Fingers Crossed in great order and he looked great in his final gallop. Mutual Fun went well in his barrier trial on Tuesday, while Miraculous has gone well on two occasions since his slightly disappointing run at Happy Valley, when he pulled up with some breathing distress.
