PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Super Win Dragon has performed well without conditions to suit in his three 1,200m starts across both Sha Tin surfaces this season. He maps better from gate four, and his six runs over this course and distance have produced two thirds. He is an each-way play. Perfect Team failed to fire on the turf again last time. He returns to the all-weather circuit on which he scored an easy come-from-behind C&D win under 10-pound claimer Ellis Wong Chi-wang on October 25. Punters must consider him despite his wide barrier. Dirt specialist Fiery Diamond was a prominently ridden third over 1,200m on his seasonal return before exhibiting flexibility with his front-running C&D second to Perfect Team. He must be a contender. Adefill followed his C&D third in that Perfect Team race with his closing fourth behind Smokey Bear in a 1,200m event last weekend. James McDonald offsets his outside draw.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
SUPER WIN DRAGON (E253) near the 900M when being ridden along lay in and after being crossed by a runner then was steadied to avoid that runner's heels. Then for some distance thereafter raced keenly - Race 165.
PERFECT TEAM (H120) in the early stages was shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier. Approaching the 1300M was bumped. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 154.
ADEFILL (G317) on jumping was hampered when taken out - Race 198.
YELLOWFIN (G326) after the race, rider explained that his mount jumped only fairly and when a number of runners to his outside showed the intent of leading, he elected to allow his mount to settle in behind the leaders in the early stages - Race 147.
VIVA HUNTER (E369) approaching the 1500M was steadied when racing keenly - Race 175.
KIMBERLEY (H329) on arrival at the Start the tongue tie applied was replaced. Jumped awkwardly and in the early stages was shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier - Race 193.
SOLAR GOGO (H390) in the early stages was shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier - Race 203.
LOVERO (H451) after the 700M raced tight. After the 550M lay in as its rider endeavoured to shift out - Race 118.
RED ACLAIM (J017) jumped only fairly - Race 193.
