This young horse has plenty of upside, Purton says

Zac Purton has had just three rides for Peter Ho Leung in his Hong Kong career, but the win on Mochi may help cement the relationship which has now got a 25 per cent strike rate. Purton had little luck with the gelding from a wide gate with the blinkers on last start, but made use of the better draw to score a comfortable 13/4-length win. 'I haven't had many rides for Peter, so it was good to get a win on the board with him and I think this young horse has plenty of upside,' Purton said. 'Mochi is only three and had a handful of starts, so I think he can develop into a nice horse next season.'
