First Group race for the season in Hong Kong

It's the G3 Celebration Cup at Sha Tin Sunday 25th

And it is such a shame it has only 6 starters!  There is definitely a lack of top level horses in Hong Kong at present.

This means that California Spangle will be odds-on to win this with Zac Purton looking at another bit of silverware.  Duke Wai ran a very good race last outing for new trainer Pierre Ng and while it may not be quite good enough to pass California Spangle he may be able to make a race of it.

That is race 3 and we have a Class 2 to close out the card in race 10.  It's over 1200m and Richard Gibson has shown his talent at preparing sprinters and has another one here in Navas Two – current favourite on 4.1 but this is quite an open race so watch the betting.  Handsome Bo Bo ran very well last outing but it top weight here and is on 11.0.  He's worth a bit of e/w at that price.  You'remyeverything has the advantage of a light weight and you could add him to the mix on 8.8, and Ima Single Man comes into contention on 8.3.
