Verdict

GOOD FORTUNE (5) is the one to beat after a decisive win first-up, beating So My Folks by just under 3L after finishing off very strongly. The rise in weight is worth noting, but his recent trial suggests he hasn't gone backwards. Can repeat the dose. SUNNY Q (1) is the main danger, having run second two back before starting favourite behind Good Fortune last start. He got a long way back there and can settle much closer this time around. Can turn the tables. NOBLE FANS (6) won over this track and trip two starts ago and was only 2.5L away when first-up at Happy Valley. Back to the scene of the crime here and he can return to winning form. YEE CHEONG RAIDER (12) remains winless but has placed often enough to be respected, and his fifth behind Good Fortune last start was solid enough to give him a genuine chance at the weights.
