THISTLE HANDICAP
#10 Geneva comes to Happy Valley for the first time boasting strong Sha Tin form, including a last-start win over Thunder Kit, who won on Sunday. Class 2 is a fresh test, but he is good enough, and the race should be run at a good tempo to suit his profile. He will be hard to hold out. #4 Sky Trust trialled very well when leading at Happy Valley into this race. Barrier 3 provides him with an ideal map after he raced wide from barrier 9 at Sha Tin last time. #6 Regal Gem resumes off his Derby run, where 2,000m was a tough task. His trial for his return was full of promise and coming back to this track and trip ticks boxes. #12 Glowing Praises gets in with a featherweight of 108 pounds after Britney Wong’s claim is accounted for, and barrier 2, off three straight placings, leaves him very well placed today.
