Verdict

ONLY U (6) jumped a $2.90 chance over the 7f at Sha Tin last start and didn't have much luck at all, beaten 3.8L, though he should've finished much closer. Form out of that race has been solid and his ratings prior stack right up. Back to 6f now is the query, but he's ready to fire. NOBLE DELUXE (10) went close over 5f two back before a disappointing performance over 6f on the Turf course here most recently. He gets the pacifiers on today and Atzeni sticks from his latest trial on this surface. Can bounce back to form. EXCEED THE WISH (1) gets onto the All Weather for the first time today. He was beaten 2.3L over this trip at Happy Valley last start but drops back into C5 today. Drawn awkward, but it wouldn't surprise to see a bit turnaround in form. MACANESE MASTER (11) has won a trial here since scoring narrowly at Happy Valley last start. Can go on with the job.
