Last race watch list horses running tonight:
Race 5 Remarkable (5-1) Is win-less after 9 tries on the turf in Hong Kong but has done reasonably well on the dirt and at this class level too. He stepped at length slow maybe even two from the gate, Moreira found himself in the fourth flight heading into the first turn while saving ground. He got himself into a nice stride heading down the backside chasing an average pace for the class, heading into the stretch after continuing to race nearest the rail Moreira drifted him to the two path for running room, at the 200 metre mark there was an opening just to his left. But, before Moreira could stick him in a fast moving hole the front-runner Salto Olimpico drifted out into his path taking his momentum away from him just for a moment, unfortunately he couldn't get him back into the fray quick enough to get up at the wire.

Race 6 Cordyceps (5-2) Just missed out in his last against Champion Supreme who has now won two races in a row with one of them a jump up in class. Cordyceps has been very unlucky at the draw of late and got a break (if you want to call it that) getting the 9 post. He likes to be right on the pace but was outrun in the first 100 metres by Cheers Vanquisher with bugboy Wong on him and after breaking from the 12 gate he had to use him up to get the lead which Moreira allowed him to do. Heading into the turn he was still stuck on the outside travelling three wide without any cover, then mid-stretch he just couldn't hold off 2nd up co-favourite Uncle Steve who had a perfect trip compared to Cordyceps.
