Verdict

SUPERB SPIRIT (6) has handled the wet deck aplomb recently, winning by 1.3L in easier company when an odds-on favourite. Purton remains in the saddle as he steps up in grade, but his last start SP and the improvement he's showing between runs suggests he's better than this grade. RED SEA (5) comes here on the fresh side after pulling up with an issue following a disappointing run at Happy Valley 87 days ago. His two trials coming in have been great and Orman has made the trip to ride him on both occasions. Can return on a positive note. PERFECT GENERAL (1) was too good from the front here as the race favourite 87 days ago and he's trialled well in the break since. The inside draw can see him up front in the running and with Moreira sticking, he'll be hard to reel in. SOLID STATE (7) has trialled well coming into his HK debut and is not to be discounted.
