Verdict

TSUEN WAN GLORY (3) has trialled very well since his latest run over this course and distance 49 days ago. He's knocking on the door of another victory and maps to get every chance once again today. Chadwick sticks from the trial and he can return to winning ways today. HARRY'S HERO (11) got a long way back at Sha Tin last start and missed as favourite over the mile. He remains down in the weights today and returns to Happy Valley which is a slight query. Jumped favourite last start and can go one better this time around. DOUBLE SHOW (8) has trialled well since his last run over the 7f at Sha Tin. His last two have been superb and he maps for a beautiful run once again today. Should get his chance to land the knockout blow. FAMILY FORTUNE (5) is better than he showed last start on the All Weather surface. He was too good here fresh and a return to that form would see him hard to hold out.
