Verdict

LEADING AGILITY (4) is racing in good order, winning two back before a 0.8L defeat most recently. He's since trialled sharply under Purton who remains in the saddle today. Drawn much better today and while he does rise in weight, he can go a couple better this time around. YOUNG ARROW (2) was held up slightly on straightening as the race favourite, ending up 3L off the winner at this track and trip. Ferraris hops on board now and he'll need some luck from the wide draw, but his best form is good enough. FORERUNNER (3) won well two back before a 3.8L defeat at Sha Tin last time out. He returns to the scene of the crime now and maps to get his chance from an inside barrier. Ticks plenty of boxes. MAJESTIC DELIGHT (12) won narrowly last start and drops a stack of weight here as he rises up to C4. Can repeat the dose without surprising.
