Verdict

WINNING MACHINE (3) missed narrowly last start over this course and distance when an odds-on favourite. He loses Moreira, but Wong hops on board striking at 13% when riding for the Fownes stable and the draw makes things easy for him. Can get the job done this time. FRANTANCK (1) comes back in grade today and makes plenty of appeal with his racing pattern and the claim of Nichola Yuen. He has the speed to roll across from out wide and if he'll be hard to hold out if he can dictate from the front. YEE CHEONG RAIDER (9) missed in a photo finish last time out, beating home Winning Machine on that occasion here 21 days ago. The inside draw suits him much better today and he is sure to be in the finish again if he can hold his form. HE WAS ME (10) beat home Winning Machine and Yee Cheong Raider last time out and won't be far away again.
