HINOKAMI KAGURA (2) was given a short break after hitting the frame over 1200m at this track. Kept ticking over with a subsequent trial at Sha Tin AW. Sure to make his presence felt. PATCH OF WATCH (9) was given a short break after finishing fourth over 1000m at Happy Valley. Subsequently scored a trial win at Sha Tin AW. Deserves serious consideration. CHEER FOR SOUTH (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1200m at Sha Tin. Likely improver with strong prospects. THE CONCENTRATION (3) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over this journey at Sha Tin. Solid top-three prospects.
