Daylight Dick good enough to go close in the 9:48 showdown in Hong Kong.

An excellent field comes together for this epic race from Hong Kong. The Clan trained ‘Daylight Dick’ won last time on firm, that was in Australia over the very same distance on the 3rd of this month. All together the stats read 33 races, 7 wins and 11 placed finishes so on his day this 6 year old colt can do very well indeed.

At 15/2 he looks like good value to do something in this race.

Has Orb electric blown a fuse?
Unless the bookies are privy to some information that our punters are not the odds for ‘orb electric’ seem extreme. 34/1 seem like excellent odds for this experienced horse in the 8:57 race in Hong Kong. In 57 races to date the 4 year old colt has entered the winner’s enclosure on 8 occassions and has been placed 25 times as well. Last time out on firm he finished 2nd by less than a length at this very same venue so will be hoping to go one better tonight. Each way punt may be a good idea.

It may not be Last crack’s favored going but this colt means business.

The record speaks for itself. In 6 runs he’s won 3 times and been placed twice. Usually runs on the more assured going of fast, firm and good so it will be interesting to see how this new kid on the block gets on over soft. Versatile and well able to adapt the distance shouldn’t be too much of a problem either for ‘Last Crack’ from the scanner’s stable. At 33/1 this one must have a chance of a placed finish at least in the 8:12 race from England.
