14. Farshad (2) J: C Wong (53.5kg) T: Y S Tsui		61

(4) Sauvestre is into his second Hong Kong preparation now with his fourth run back from a break. His first two runs this time in were both good, running 3rd and 2nd. He put in a shocker last start but pulled up with a heart irregularity. Draws barrier 1 and gets Purton back on today which are both positives so if he’s over that issue from last start, he should be very competitive.

Tip: (4) Sauvestre $4.40 Bet365

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Sauvestre

Race 8

4. Oriental Smoke (9) J: Z Purton (58kg) T: D A Hayes		3.2
5. Street Scream (6) J: K Teetan (57.5kg) T: A S Cruz		7.5
6. Bell Of Victory (2) J: B Shinn (56.5kg) T: C W Chang		101
7. Happy Day (5) J: C Ho (56.5kg) T: W Y So		14
8. Medic Elite (12) J: L Hewitson (56.5kg) T: P D O'sullivan		91
9. See U Again (3) J: A Badel (56.5kg) T: C S Shum		7

14. Victory More (1) J: D Moor (52.5kg) T: K W Lui		101

Pretty keen to back (4) Oriental Smoke to beat the favourite Galaxy Witness. They both debuted over 1000m on different days, so take the following info with that in mind. Galaxy Witness won his 1000m race in 57.13secs, while Oriental Smoke ran 2nd over 1000m in 56.72. They ran near identical splits from the 800-400m sections of their races, but Galaxy Witness ran his final 400m in 23.32 while Oriental Smoke ran 22.48. Stepping up to 1200m, you’d surely want to be with Oriental Smoke? Apples and oranges given different days but happy to be with Oriental Smoke. Great contest.

Tip: (4) Oriental Smoke $3.40 Sportsbet

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Oriental Smoke

Race 9

Kung Hei Hcp (C3) (1400m)

13. Arthur's Kingdom (6) J: C Wong (52kg) T: Y S Tsui		91
14. Handsome Twelve (2) J: D Moor (52kg) T: T P Yung		13

(12) Running Glory could be a smart horse. Couple of things to overcome today with the rise in class and barrier 12 (yuck), but he’s good enough to win still. On debut he was held up the entire straight; second up sat wide throughout when finishing 3rd, and last start destroyed his rivals by 3.5L. Keen on him to go back-to-back despite the negatives today.

Tip: (12) Running Glory $2.90 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 3 units WIN Running Glory
