Verdict

ACE TALENT (11) resumes from a short break today, though he hasn't been away from the track for very long. He's has three trials since his latest effort when gunned down late here 63 days ago, winning his most recent hit out at Conghua. Should be on speed from a favourable alley and will take catching. SO AWESOME (7) drops back in trip today after going under as favourite at his past couple attempts. He didn't have the best of luck last start but still closed off strongly and was only passed in the shadows of the post two back. Hard to knock on recent form and he'll be hard to hold out if he can run up to that level again. DOUBLE SHOW (12) stuck on well behind a big winner here last start and back to 5f is a smart play. Needs a touch of luck but has proven he's good enough. MODEST GENTLEMAN (6) disappointed last time out but is better than what he showed there and can return to form.
