Verdict

SUPER HONG KONG (10) stayed on well on the All Weather here last start after some good runs over 1 ?m at Happy Valley prior. Teetan hops back on board now and he has a good record when riding the gelding. Ticking along nicely and can go one better this time. COOL BLUE (12) disappointed last start at Happy Valley but rises to 1 ¼m for the first time today which looks a good move. The booking of Purton is a good push for his chances and it wouldn't surprise to see him raise the bar now. CHATEAU LE PECHE (11) flew home last start at Happy Valley when settling well back in the run, finishing 0.8L off the winner. His record at this track and trip is solid however and he draws nicely today. Can be finishing strongly. ON THE LASH (3) is looking for the hat-trick here as he steps out to 1 ¼m and can play a key role from an inside draw.
