Last race watch list horses running today:
Race 10 Eagle (10-1): First time starter in Hong Kong after winning 2 of 4 in Australia, drew the 12 post with the short run to the turn in a 1,200 metre Class 3 event. Threw his head at the start and was immediately taken to the rear in an effort to save as much ground as possible in the turn, raced two wide then drifted out to the five path entering the stretch, was making a move mid-stretch but was blocked by Orionids when he became to drift out when he started tiring. Rispoli then moved inward to avoid that and then had to check up when So Fast came into his path, galloped out well afterwards without being pushed.

Race 11 Hezthewonforus (2-1): First time starter in Hong Kong for Size after winning his only out in New Zealand, picked up the services of Moreira for the effort and was heavily bet at the windows going off as the even money favourite. Broke well and was placed mid-pack but 200 metres from the start became rank which continued in the turn while racing two wide, was slightly covered up at the top of the stretch and was outrun late in the stretch by the second betting choice Win Beauty Win (78), he galloped out well. Look for an equipment change to solve the climbing issue.
