Hong Kong Cup Form Guide & Tips

(1) Romantic Warrior (Best Bet – $1.40)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Romantic Warrior is one of the best thoroughbreds in the world and that’s why he’s a $1.40 chance to win.

He gets all favours in the run off the inside draw and he’s good enough to keep his winning form going this preparation.

Include the $1.40 in multis.

(2) Spirit Dancer ($34.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

His form isn’t good enough to be competitive at this level and we can’t entertain the $34.00 odds. We would need much bigger odds.

(3) Straight Arron ($101.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He’s another runner that hasn’t been firing in two starts this campaign, and we can’t include him in our picks.

(4) Tastiera ($12.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He finished second in the Tenno Sho and that’s usually a good form guide for the Hong Kong Cup.

Damian Lane rides, and although he’s only a three-time winner, he shouldn’t be underestimated in this race.

Take the double-figure odds and include in selections.

(5) Calif ($41.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

There isn’t too much wrong with his form, including in two starts this campaign, but most of his best form has come against easier types.

The odds tell the story and we don’t expect money to come for him.

(6) Nimble Nimbus ($101.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Triple-figure odds to turn his form around, but we can’t see it happening.

(7) The Foxes ($51.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The four-year-old comes off a win at Newcastle by three lengths, but this is a sizable rise in class and we don’t think he’ll handle it.

(8) Encountered ($101.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

There is nothing to enjoy about his form this campaign, and he’s another runner at big odds that we can’t include in picks.

(9) Liberty Island (Best Each Way – $5.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

She didn’t fire in the Tenno Sho, but we’re prepared to five the Japanese filly another chance.

Her form prior included some top-level performances, including a second placing behind Equinox in the Japan Cup.

That form is good enough to consider here.

(10) Content ($17.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

We priced her at longer odds following two poor runs at Longchamp and Ascot, and she will need to improve to figure in the finish.

Her form prior was good enough to be competitive but we’ll include her to finish fourth and hope she turns her form around.

(11) Wingspan (Best Roughie – $15.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

It’s tough to overlook an Aidan O’Brien-trained runner at this meeting and we’re including Wingspan in our selections.

She comes off a second placing in the British Champions Fillies & Mares, and that should be a solid form guide for the Hong Kong Cup.
