Verdict

VERBIER (12) ran strongly on the wet deck last time out, beaten 0.8L at this track and trip. Joao Moreira rides now in a good push for his chances and an inside barrier is a big tick. Can go a couple better this time around. COUNTRY DANCER (2) ran over the top to score by 0.5L at this track and trip last start on a soggy track. This shapes similarly however and he has won 2/3 at this track and distance. Can go back-to-back. CALL TO COMMAND (8) was only 1.8L off the winner last start despite finishing 8th and his recent efforts rate highly in this field. That was at Happy Valley, but his form here at Sha Tin stacks up too. Can put his best foot forward. BINGO BABE (13) missed narrowly last start and has to be included on the back of that performance.
