Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 1

ONLY U (6) makes his Hong Kong debut for James Cummings and gets Zac Purton aboard after an encouraging trial at Happy Valley last week. He has placed fresh previously and looks forward enough to run a bold race to give the stable their first local success. ROBOT KNIGHT (1) should roll forward from his good gate, and he has the speed to control the race. He was sharp in his recent trial and will take plenty of catching if allowed to dictate. HAPPY ACTION (5) also impressed in the same trial as the second pick, showing plenty of early pace before leading all the way. The stable switch to Mark Newnham could bring further improvement, and he looks a solid each-way chance. GIMME FIVE (9) had little luck first-up for the new stable but gets a big swing in his draw this time. Nichola Yuen takes the ride and he can improve sharply second-up.
