The Group 2 Premier Bowl (1200m), the fourth consecutive Handicap feature of the new season, will be held at Sha Tin racecourse this Sunday.
At the top of the list, attention is sure to be drawn to horses like CALIFORNIA SPANGLE, KA YING RISING, and INVINCIBLE SAGE. CALIFORNIA SPANGLE, who secured the G1 AL Quoz Sprint in Dubai in March, has further cemented his reputation as Hong Kong’s top sprinter. After an impressive trial win, the Tony Cruz-trained gelding returns as a strong contender, despite carrying top weight.
KA YING RISING, living up to his name, is a rising star with six wins from eight starts. His effortless Class 1 victory first-up shows he has the potential to become another elite sprinter, especially considering he’s already a Group 3 winner.
INVINCIBLE SAGE, who defeated KA YING RISING in last season’s G1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize, may have been favoured by the pace but is expected to deliver a much-improved performance after a solid first-up run.
Among the lightweight contenders are BEAUTY WAVES, HELIOS EXPRESS, and FLYING ACE, who all warrant attention for a potential upset.
