Verdict

KA YING LIGHTNING (6) sets the standard after keeping his record perfect with a two-length C4 win at this track, again showing he handles the straight 5f and can absorb the rise in grade. Drawn perfectly out wide and looks set to continue his way through the grades. LIGHTNESS OF MUSIC (7) is the obvious danger after winning as favourite over this track and distance, with his record under Zac Purton adding further substance. He's trialled nicely between races and he can keep the ball rolling. DYNAMIC BROSE (5) is the lightly raced Australian import with upside, having led throughout to beat Rach on debut at Canterbury. He has trialled nicely since coming to Hong Kong and looks primed for a bolt showing. YEE CHEONG BRIGHT (3) brings strong Australian BM72 form, with two narrow Randwick placings before the break. His two trials since landing in HK have been superb and he can fire straight away for the Cummings stable.

6	Kept his unbeaten record intact when winning a Class 4 at this track last start, beating Jedi Spurs by two lengths while near the top of betting. He had already scored on debut at this venue, so two wins from two starts at both the track and distance is a powerful platform. Rises in grade, but brings the best winning profile. 1st Pick 6 Ka Ying Lightning Jockey: Andrea Atzeni Trainer: David Hall J: Andrea Atzeni T: David Hall	140	-	-	-	46%	6/5

7	Returns from a two-month freshening after winning over this track and distance as favourite, beating Ruby Thrive by a length and a half in Class 4. His previous fourth behind Love Together was also sound, beaten just over a length. Purton stays aboard and he rates a strong danger. 2nd Pick 7 Lightness Of Music Jockey: Zac Purton Trainer: Danny Shum J: Zac Purton T: Danny Shum	145	-	-	-	13%	7/1

5	Returns from a lengthy spell after making a winning debut at Canterbury, leading throughout in a Mdn over 6 ¼f and beating Rach by two and a half lengths. That was his only public race evidence, but it was decisive and he was well found in an open market. Untested at 5f, but the upside is obvious. 3rd Pick 5 Dynamic Brose Jockey: M Yeung Trainer: David A Hayes J: M Yeung T: David A Hayes	53	-	-	-	4%	31/1
