Happy Valley Race 1 - Chukyo Hcp (C5)
STORM RUNNER (1) just missed behind a subsequent winner last start when jumping favourite, running on strongly from midfield under Purton. He remains in the saddle today and he's been back to the trials since that effort. Out in trip suits now and he should get every chance. ROMANTIC FANTASY (2) has finished well back in his past couple but suspect this is what they've been looking for. He drops in grade today and the rise to 2200m is a big tick. Bowman hops in the saddle now and he looks set to turn his form right around. WAH MAY WAI WAI (4) comes through the same race as STORM RUNNER here 28 days ago where he led and felt the pinch late. Out in trip for the first time now is interesting, but the form stacks up and he has to be included. LEATHER MASTER (5) can improve out in trip now and looks a key player.
