Verdict

NEVER TOO SOON (11) bounced back in a big way last start when bolting in by 3L as the race favourite last time out. He rises in grade off that win, but he drops 9lbs and he looks to get a similar run in transit. Simply too good last start and he can repeat the dose. VERY GRATEFUL (9) has been solid since arriving in Hong Kong, beaten only 1.8L off the winner last start and gets the blinkers on now. He draws to be just off the speed. Expecting him to be in the finish once again. SOVEREIGN FUND (8) flew home strongly last start over this track and trip last start to just miss, beaten 0.5L. He's likely to get back from the wide draw, though he's knocking on the door of another victory and he has to be included. FUN ELITE (12) hasn't been far away in recent races and jumped favourite last start. Drops in weight as he rises in grade and he can put his best foot forward.
