Verdict

PACKING GLORY (2) was very impressive in his debut over this course and distance, putting his rivals to the sword with ease. Up in the weights here, but he looks to have plenty of class and this looks to shape similarly. Can go on with the job. TURQUOISE VELOCITY (9) has trialled very impressively coming into this including a trial win over 5f at Conghua back in October. Drawn alongside Packing Glory which helps and Yeung has been with him all the way through. Can make a statement on debut. ALSONSO (1) comes back to this track and trip where he's placed 4/6 in his career. Back to Class 4 now and gets J-Mac in the saddle from a wide draw which suits the straight course. Can end his winning streak without surprising. GET FRIENDLY (5) gets the winkers on first time today and was stuck on well behind Packing Glory on debut. Won't be far away.
