Preview & Trifecta - The Hong Kong Sprint 2017
Mr Stunning is the favourite for the Sprint
The second Gr.1 race at Sha Tin on Sunday is the Hong Kong Sprint. Mr Stunning, a gelding by Exceed And Excel is the favourite for the title. Nash Rawiller will be aboard him to make this partnership fruitful.
Lucky Bubbles is expected to give the favourite a good run for his money. This K W Lui trained gelding has all it takes to win the title but has seen a lot of Mr Stunning's back.
1200m Gr.1 Al Quoz Sprint winner, The Right Man is also in the fray. He recently claimed Gr.3 Prix De Seine-Et-Oise crown. He has a interesting chance of repeating his victory in the Al Quoz Sprint in this 1200m Hong Kong Sprint as well.
Peniaphobia also holds a chance if he gives it his best. Signs of Blessing a six-year-old son of Invincible Spirit is a classy sprinter with Gr.1 wins under his belt. All-in-all a good race card and entertainment guaranteed..
