Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 5

CONRAD PATCH (6) has been solid in his first two starts, missing by 1.3L most recently as the race favourite. He now gets Hugh Bowman in the saddle in a race that shapes similarly to his last start. Looks to have found a winnable race third-up and can get the job done this time. VOYAGE BOSS (5) flew home to miss by 1.8L at this track and trip most recently after going back from the wide draw. He loses Purton, but he draws to sit much closer this time around and he continues to trend the right way. Can get back to winning ways. ISLAND BUDDY (3) sat on the speed to make it back-to-back wins since joining the Brett Crawford yard. He'll spend some petrol to roll across from the draw, but he's racing well and can give himself every chance from the front once again. HAPPY SHOOTER (4) was too good last time out and has since trialled well. No reason why he can't go on with the job.
