Sha Tin Race 7 - The Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (G1)

The champ ROMANTIC WARRIOR (1) looks to extend his winning run here and he reunites with his old mate JMac. His recent trial was solid around VOYAGE BUBBLE and his form was somewhat franked behind Ka Ying Rising last time out. Can sit handy once again and bring up his 13th Group 1 victory. VOYAGE BUBBLE (2) won that trial as stated under Zac Purton recently on the back of a somewhat disappointing performance in the Stewards' Cup last time out. He's better than he showed there, but he'll have to be if he is to turn the tables on RW. The tactics will be interesting early doors. MY WISH (4) may not have made the jump to challenge the top two since his impressive wins earlier this season. Hugh Bowman hops on board today however and he steps out to 2000m for the first time since placing in the Derby. He looks the next best. ENSUED (5) is worth including in exotics.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track G1 Stewards' Cup January 25 over 1600m defeating Lucky Sweynesse carrying 57kg at $1.50. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup December 14 over 2000m defeating Bellagio Opera with 57kg at $1.10. Hard to see anything turning the tables on the champ.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at this track in the G1 Stewards' Cup on January 25 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Romantic Warrior carrying 57kg at $3.90. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile December 14 over 1600m defeating Soul Rush carrying 57kg at $3.60. Clearly the second best horse in this race and looks the main danger.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield and won by a nose at this track January 25 over 2000m defeating Prestige Good carrying 58.5kg at $3.60. Before that 5th of 12 at Happy Valley in the G3 January Cup on January 14 over 1800m, 2 len behind Speed Dragon with 52kg at $11. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.
