Verdict

MIGHTY PROFIT (4) is the one to beat off a debut that had plenty of merit, finishing fifth at this track when beaten just under two lengths after being bumped and settling rearward before closing strongly. He has trialled strongly coming into this and looks ready to take the next step on resumption. CALL ME SPARKLE (2) dipped at the end of last campaign but his last two trials suggest he's back on song and ready to fire first-up. He'll get a a lovely run from a favourable barrier and with his upside, he appears the main danger. LITTLE MONSTER (8) improved last start to be 1.5L off the winner at this track and distance and gets the winkers on for the first time. Needs some luck from the gate but his latest effort shows he's good enough. CROSSBORDERDUDE (1) has been plain at the trials but tends to be better on raceday. Can return with a forward showing.

2	Returns from a four-month break after finishing sixth at this track over 7f, where he pressed forward and was briefly second in the straight before fading to be beaten six lengths. His previous third to Prestige Hall was better, beaten just over a length after being held up early in the straight. Recent trial win suggests a forward showing is on the cards. 2nd Pick 2 Call Me Sparkle Jockey: James Orman Trainer: K W Lui J: James Orman T: K W Lui	106	-	-	-	20%	4/1

8	Lifted last start when second to Apex Glory at this track, beaten a length and a half after staying on well without matching the winner. That followed a fifth here where he tracked the pace three wide and was only beaten two and a half lengths. Proven at the course and distance, and the recent form reads strongly. 3rd Pick 8 Little Monster Jockey: Derek Leung Trainer: W K Mo J: Derek Leung T: W K Mo	152	-	-	-	15%	6/1
