Verdict

WINNING WING (2) just missed two back at this track and trip before tackling the January Cup at Happy Valley last time out. The ratings ban of this race is perfect for him and the inside draw gives Mo plenty of options. Can return to winning ways. GENTLEMEN LEGACY (5) stepped back up to this track and trip last start and turned in a much-improved effort. His latest trial was very good and the blinkers go on now for the first time. Ticks plenty of boxes and can get the job done without surprising. LE ZONDA (9) is on debut in Hong Kong and was placed in a Listed race as a 2YO in Ireland. His trials since arriving have been good, especially his latest effort behind G2 winner My Wish. Creates plenty of interest. PRESTIGE GOOD (8) can sit closer than he did last time out and is good enough to knock this race over.
