Hong Kong: Full-card picks, analysis, PPs for all 10 races.
Race 9, 4:15 a.m. EST: trifecta 12 with 1,6,7,8 with 1,4,6,7,8,11
Race 9 sets up to be highly competitive and features three runners.
The AI model projects no. 12 Meowth will be the top overall speed after a last out debut victory. Moving up in class due to an eight-point rating increase, this horse will be carrying the lowest total weight of 118 pounds.
No. 1 Swift Ascend is projected to be the post-time favorite at 2-1 odds. A last out winner, he will be carrying top weight of 135 pounds in this race.
The third threat comes from no. 6 Super Infinity. While drawn wide, top rider Zac Purton is aboard and should be able to work a trip with this horse's dominant closing speed.
Others to use underneath include second-time starter no. 8 Endued, who ran well in his first start and looks to save ground and close well here. No. 7 Majestic Express is a cut above the remainder of the field and is in good form.
