Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 9

ROMANTIC WARRIOR (2) made it four wins in-a-row last start when bolting in to score the Hong Kong Gold Cup in dominant fashion. He's been trialling well since that performance and this looks to shape favourably for him again. Can continue his winning ways the big champ. MASQUERADE BALL (1) won The Tenno Sho before taking it right up to the World's Best horse in the Japan Cup most recently where he jumped favourite. Hasn't raced since November, but he rates highly off those efforts and is still a lightly raced entire on the rise. Can take it right up to the Warrior. ROYAL CHAMPION (3) was very good through the Middle East when bolting in at Riyadh most recently. Draws the inside here and should get every chance in the run. Can finish in the money. NUMBERS (8) was strong when setting the tempo in the Derby. Will give them something to catch with his racing pattern.
