Update from Sha Tin Sunday

While it isn’t exactly tropical it’s not bucketing either

ROMANTIC WARRIOR

The penetrometer reading is 2.73 which translates as Good to Yielding.  Sha Tin has received 255.2 mms of rain over the last seven days which is quite a lot and this has saturated the surrounding ground so the excellent track drainage may take a while to kick in.  They also plan to roll the track after race 6 (the race before the Mile) weather permitting.

No real dramatic changes in the betting – the locals have firmed and in the Cup Romantic Warrior is now the favouite on 2/1 with Massive Sovereign easing to 3.0.
