Good (good to yielding in places on Round) View all races

Formscan By Michael Graham - COMANCHE BRAVE was far from outclassed in fifth behind superstar-sprinter Ka Ying Rising over 6f in Sha Tin last month, and there may be more to come from him in the sprinting division. Last season, he was campaigned over longer trips and he was placed several times in Group races. British-raider Powerful Glory is entitled to maximum respect after winning the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot last October. Bucanero Fuerte hasn't quite been at his best in two outings this season, but he has plenty of winning form over course and distance, and ought to be in the thick of the action. Big Gossey loves it here and continues to defy expectations, while Montassib is another to consider.
