Intermac can call tune from the front

INTERMAC Supreme (Nap) benefited from new front-running tactics when making all under Danny Lee to score really easily on his reappearance at Sha Tin and a similar tactics could well see him prevail again this evening.

That defeat of Determinater was on a speed-par with his best effort of last season and, according to the speed ratings, a reproduction of it would be more than enough to see him home tonight.

So often to lead is a big advantage on the equitrack and there are few better exponents of riding from the front, expatriate or local, than Lee.

I like the look of Alex Wong Siu-tan's Valiant Red for the quinella. He has produced some very good speed figures on the artificial surface, relative to the quality of opposition he faces this evening.

He also won very strongly last time out for Jeff Lloyd and now has a fair 10-pound claimer on board in Eddie Lai.

Lai may not be in the same quality as Francis K.S. Lam but he is certainly worth taking a chance on with 10 pounds coming from the back of his mounts.

Valiant Red has had his problems over the last couple of seasons with cracked hooves making him very hard to train - even for a handler of Wong Siu-tan's experience and skill with these staying types.
