Verdict

DOUBLE ALPHA (7) was solid on debut down the Sha Tin straight but found them a little slick last start when fading to be 3L off the winner as the race favourite. Bowman hops on board now out to 6f for the firs time and he should get every chance from an inside barrier. GIANT LEAP (5) missed in a photo finish last start as a $12 chance, sitting handy and having every chance. Poon stick with him again today and he has enough early speed to roll across from a tricky gate. If he gets a touch of luck early, he can go one better this time around. LITTLE MONSTER (8) disappointed last start at Sha Tin and comes to this track and trip for just the second time. He's been at the point end of the market recently and with his run of recent form, he can play a leading role. FORZA LEADER (11) won't be far away if he can bring his best form.
