Highly progressive three-year-old PATCH OF STARS appears well-placed to notch a fourth consecutive victory in the Class 3 Handicap over 1400m at Sha Tin this Saturday.
Since things finally clicked three starts ago, PATCH OF STARS has been unstoppable, stringing together a hat-trick of wins. On his Class 3 debut last time out, the All Too Hard gelding was even more dominant than in his previous two Class 4 victories, powering away late to score by 1.5 lengths over this track and distance.
With the season nearing its end, PATCH OF STARS lines up against a below-par Class 3 field and shapes as the clear standout — both on form and potential. He looks the best horse in the race, and possibly one to follow well beyond this level.
Debut winner AEROVOLANIC looks poised to extend his unbeaten run this Saturday in the Class 4 Handicap over 1200m at Sha Tin.
The Frosted gelding impressed on debut three weeks ago, having shown promise in his lead-up trials. Despite a betting drift and some in-race mishaps — including his rider dropping the whip near the 200m and needing to steady him — AEROVOLANIC responded gamely, regaining momentum and producing a sharp late burst to claim victory.
He remains in Class 4 this weekend and doesn’t face a significantly tougher field. A progressive three-year-old with clear upside, AEROVOLANIC looks well placed to make it back-to-back wins.
