Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 1

SHARP PLANET (2) has impressed at the trials recently and ticks plenty of boxes here for the Fownes and Moreira combination. The middle draw gives Moreira options from the outset and this doesn't look an overly strong Griffin event. Can make a winning start to his career. TALENTS CHAMPION (10) jumped a $2.90 chance on debut in this grade when 1.3L off the winner. He's been back to the trials since to keep him up to the mark. Can sit close to the speed and another forward showing is on the cards. SECRET INGREDIENT (9) comes through the same race where beat Talents Champion in the run to the line. There wasn't much between them at the post or in the market. Can sit up front from the wide draw and will be tough to run down. GAUDIUM MAGNUM (7) is expected to make an impression on debut after some nice trials.
