Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 8

One of the best horses in the world ROMANTIC WARRIOR (1) steps out to 1 ½m for just the second time after being knocked over in this race back in 2023. He did dip in his ratings there, but he's a better horse now. Has to be close to his best to claim Hong Kong's triple crown as DEEP MONSTER (2) is no slouch. He turned in a strong figure winning the Kyoto Daishoten three back and again when winning in Qatar most recently. Moreira hops on board from a good draw and he looks the most likely to cause an upset. ROUSHAM PARK (4) is 0/2 when tackling Romantic Warrior, though both of those efforts were over 1 ¼m. He's better suited over this trip though and he won't be far away. CAP FERRAT (3) goes straight to 1 ½m after a bold run in the Champions Mile 28 days ago. He has placed at this trip previously however and is not to be discounted.
