Hong Kong International Races day - The Locks Picks the Winners

Sunday is Hong Kong International Races day....a mini-Breeder's Cup-esque day of races.  There are 4 G1 races at Sha Tin featuring some of the world's best  

The Hong Kong Vase goes 1 1/2m...The Locks likes Dunaden, the winner of the Melbourne Cup at 8-1.  Redwood has raced consistently amongst top competition all over the world.  Trailblazer only has 1 win but did just place 4th in the Japan Cup.  Thumb's Up just won in graded stakes company at Sha Tin - but would hope for better odds...if Camponolgist, an Italian racing star goes off better odds slot the paisan in instead of the local horse.

In the HK Cup, the Locks likes Ambitious Dragon.  AD since last October has 8 wins in 10 tries including 2 at 2000m.  Byword is a horse I liked in BC Mile but disappointed...but has a great record this year including a 10f win over Cirrus des Aigles.  CdA hasn't been out of money in 2011 including winning British Champion Stakes.
