Verdict

SPEEDY SMARTIE (2) is hard to knock on recent form, bolting in by 4.8L two back before finishing 0.3L away most recently. He's been back to the trials since and moved well up at Conghua. His efforts here recently rate highly and if Teetan can get across from the draw, he'll be very hard to mow down. PI LEGEND (1) comes back in grade today after finishing 2.5L away in a C3 most recently. He's since bolted in at the trials, winning by 8.5L there with Yuen in the saddle, with Pi Legend being her first ride in Hong Kong. Creates plenty of interest here today. NO OTHER CHOICE (12) returned from a freshen in good order when flying late to be 1.5L off the winner last start. He draws inside this time around for Badel and should be able to take closer order. Can go a couple better this time. FLOWING RICHES (3) hasn't been far away his past couple and creates plenty of interest with Wong on board from the front.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Yielding

A rain-soaked turf condition often producing a slick or heavy course and slower finish times.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.
