Verdict

COLOURFUL KING (4) has the most appealing blend of current form and course profile, coming off a Sha Tin win where he beat Magic Control by just under a length and was respected near the top of betting. Purton sticks from the latest trial and a forward showing is on the cards. MAGIC CONTROL (7) is the main danger with 115lbs, race fitness and an excellent 5f Sha Tin record. He meets Colourful King better at the weights this time and his fresh run behind Ka Ying Rising was super. Looks ready to go on with the job. TOMODACHI KOKOROE (5) went to another level last campaign and can be in this for a very long way with the fresh run under his belt. RAGING BLIZZARD (1) brings the classiest recent placing, having been beaten a nose at this track two runs back. Can return on a forward showing.
