PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
La Forza stayed on a clear-cut second after finding only Thunder Blink too smart after going for home at the 400m following a pace-stalking run as the short-priced favourite. He should strip fitter and can go one better. Santorini kept on well for third in that Thunder Blink race after dictating the pace for a good part and must be one of the chances. California Moxie made some ground from midfield for fourth to Thunder Blink on his Griffin debut last month over this C&D. He should be fitter and will go close. Run Yes Run lacked stamina after showing speed in that same Griffin race but should naturally come on for this run.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
CALIFORNIA BANNER (J132) jumped awkwardly - Race 578.
CALIFORNIA MOXIE (J131) was slow to begin - Race 578.
SKYEY BLUE (J212) passing the 100M was steadied when crowded - Race 578.
RUN YES RUN (J264) jumped only fairly - Race 578.
TRACKWORK HIGHLIGHT
Santorini quickened nicely in the concluding stages of his gallop on the all-weather track at Sha Tin on Thursday.
