Vulnerable favourite on the card:
Race 4 Ensuring (5-2): Hasn’t won since July 5, 2015 and is only 1 for 25 at Sha Tin, always seems to be there but never comes thru.

Race *684 (winners: 1st, 4th & 8th)
Race 3 Compassion Star (8-1)

Race 085 (winners: 6th & 7th, second: 4th)
Race 2 Crown Avenue (5-2)



In the event of rain these horses have shown an appreciation for soft footing. (Good to Yielding or Yielding):
Race 5 Hang’s Decision (28-1)
Race 9 Happy Journey (27-1)


Last race watch list horses:
Race 8 Sichuan Dar: Was unlucky at the computer draw getting the 11 hole, took his normal running position in the back while the eventual winner was allowed to get an uncontested early lead. Had to be taken up at the 1050 metre mark costing him around a length and a half of running position, then at the 800 mark Rispoli asked him for a run that continued for a good 300 metres. unfortunately the move carried him to the 3 path heading into the final turn, closed well in the stretch beating the rest easily but unable to catch the lone speed winner. (May be in a little over his head in here, was hoping for another Class 2 race)
