THE ARCULLI TROPHY (HANDICAP)
#1 Lucky Symphony had excuses last start after working hard from a wide draw to sit outside the leader in a strongly run race. He faded late into seventh but wasn’t beaten far. Drawn slightly better this time helps. #2 Aerovolanic impressed on debut after some sharp trial work and looks to have more upside. #3 Patch Of Time is usually thereabouts and is better placed back at Sha Tin following a solid fourth at Happy Valley. #8 Spicy Spangle drops into a slightly weaker Class 4 and could show something here. He was caught wide last time, but his prior efforts over 1000m were sound and he’s a past winner over this course and trip.
