Verdict

YODA'S CHOICE (5) sets the standard on his established record at this track and distance, with two wins and one placing from five attempts. He beat Firefoot earlier in the year and was sound when fourth at his final run before a spell. Has trialled well coming in and looks ready to fire on resumption. FIREFOOT (6) is the obvious danger after consecutive seconds, beaten a nose at this track last start and half a length at Happy Valley before that, with his track-and-distance record adding substance. PRECISION HOPE (9) keeps racing well, placing as a well-supported favourite last time, though the first try at around 1 ?m is the main question. BULL ATTITUDE (11) was only beaten a neck first-up at this track and has the right recent figure to press for another placing if he sees out the extra ground.

5	Returns from a five-month break with the strongest track-and-distance credentials in the race, having won twice and placed once from five attempts at this set-up. He beat Firefoot at this track two runs back, kicking clear to score by just over a length, then was sound when fourth behind Leaping Star. Proven on synthetic and clearly the one to beat. 1st Pick 5 Yoda's Choice Jockey: Nichola Yuen Trainer: Pierre Ng J: Nichola Yuen T: Pierre Ng	96	-	-	-	13%	7/1

6	Comes off consecutive seconds and was only beaten a nose by Supreme Agility over 1 m at this track last start. His previous run at Happy Valley was also honest, closing on Mighty Steed late and missing by half a length. Strong danger to the favourite. 2nd Pick 6 Firefoot Jockey: Karis Teetan Trainer: W Y So J: Karis Teetan T: W Y So	118	-	-	-	25%	3/1

9	Has returned in consistent order, running fourth as favourite at Happy Valley before finishing third there last start, beaten just under a length as the well-supported favourite. He began only fairly but still had his chance once the run opened near the rail. First go around 1m is the test, but he is right in the race. 3rd Pick 9 Precision Hope Jockey: Alex Badel Trainer: David A Hayes J: Alex Badel T: David A Hayes	94	-	-	-	10%	9/1
