ALL EYES WILL BE ON ROMANTIC WARRIOR
The Straits Times|December 07, 2024
Romantic Warrior chases a record third consecutive Hong Kong Cup win. Hong Kong's reigning Horse of the Year resumed with a commanding win in the Jockey Club Cup. The one to beat.
ALL EYES WILL BE ON ROMANTIC WARRIOR

RACE 1 (1,200M) 13 Invincible Lucky returns from a seven-month layoff, but he showed ability last season.

1 City Thunder was caught behind traffic last time. Should he find clear running, he can win.

12 Monarch County has been unlucky in both previous runs, especially last time when he was caught very wide. With a better draw, he should be able to improve.

2 Patch Of Time is in excellent form as he chases a hat-trick.

RACE 2 (1,400M) 6 Master Phoenix impressed on debut with a strong second-placed finish after being steadied early from a wide draw over 1,200m. He can settle closer.

12 Dragon Four Seas has drawn to suit his on-pace running style. Worked too hard early last time over a mile. Distance suits.

5 Jubilant Winner faced an uphill task from gate 12 last time. He has since won a trial and is in fine form.

7 Packing Angel disappointed last time, faded late after working hard from a wide gate. Can improve.

RACE 3 (1,200M) 1 Savvy Brilliant was slow out of the gates last time, he suffered a check but stormed home late into second. He should be hard to beat.

8 Patch Of Cosmo was encouraging finishing fourth last time. From a wide draw, he worked home strongly.

4 Divano was held up and eased last time. He is better than that.

13 Lifeline Express ran a bold race from a wide gate. A midfield barrier improves his prospects.
