Last race watch list horses running today:
Race 1 Multimillion (9-5) Was bet down as the 2-1 favourite in his debut going 1000 metres at Sha Tin, took a left turn at the break and bumped Ocean Elite but soon recovered and quickly took the lead. Looked like he was going to coast home for the easy win but at the 350 metre mark he switched off his proper lead step and commenced to travel very greenly throwing his head to the side and was passed near the wire by the seasoned veteran Diamond Master, he outran the third place runner Lightning Speed by three lengths and should improve with a race in him. Gets a favourable draw for the straight 1000 metre race with the 13 post which is one post off the inside rail, will have to deal with a Size first time starter just underneath him.

Race 4 Sunny Power (9-1) In his first race of the season he was bet down as the even money favourite with Purton on for the ride. Purton settled him mid-pack while chasing the eventual winner Cheerful Boy was loose on the lead, heading into the turn Zac wasn’t allowed over by Callan on King Kanaloa and had to make the turn three wide without any cover. It looked as if he was going to get a place position mid-stretch but being away from the track for three months and racing wide took its toll and Zac eased him home in the last 150 metres.

Race 6 High Rev (7-2) First time starter for the David Hall barn and was able to secure the rights for the leading rider Zac Purton. Was played heavily at the windows after drawing the 3 post going off as the second choice at 7-2, was a tab slow from the gate and was taken straight to the rail soon afterwards, Zach settled him mid-pack in the third flight on the backstretch. When he entered the stretch he found himself an opening and quickly got thru for the run home, but lacked the final kick and was out finished in the final 100 metres only to miss by ¾ of a length to the third betting choice Smiling Pride who was coming off a 8 month layoff. He was allowed to gallop out past the winner soon after the wire.

Race 10 Easy Go Easy Win (10-1) Was bet down as the 2-1 chalk in his first race of the season for the Moore barn, was taken back after break well from the gate and when taken back became rank for Purton. He finally settled down when he headed into the turn while going three wide, looked full of run at the 350 metre mark but was all bottled up with nowhere to run, When room became available at the 200 mark he responded well for zac but his race had already been decided.

Race 10 Coby Boy (16-1) In his second race after the seasonal break where he ran a game second beaten by 1 ¼ lengths to Morethanlucky, was slightly bumped out the gate and then was forwardly placed by bug-boy Yeung but was unable to stay with the pace and soon found himself racing mid-pack. Yeung was unable to find himself any room at the rail and was three wide without cover in the turn, looked full of run entering the stretch and tried to split a couple slower runners at the 350 mark but the hole soon closed up and was found without an exit plan and was never asked to run in the stretch, the stick was never brought out.

Race 10 Superich (3-2) His first try at Class 2 after two impressive wins at the Class 3 level, and Purton thought enough of him to stay on him with the class rise. Broke well from the 2 post and settled mid-pack on the backside racing on the rail, Zac moved him off the rail entering the stretch trying to find some running room he was bumped at the 350 metre mark by Infinity Endeavour who was trying to get through underneath him, he then had to wait for a hole and when it became available he shot thru it but the winning move by Dragon General was being made at the same time. He was gaining at the wire only to run out of real estate, he galloped out well past the winner after the wire.
