Verdict

THUNDER KIT (10) has been building throughout the season, flying home from the back last start to be 1.3L off the winner here most recently. He's still looking for his first HK win, but he showed last start that he was up to this grade. Hitting his straps now and can go one better in this suitable assignment. CELESTIAL HERO (2) gets Bowman back in the saddle today after a 3.5L defeat last start. He rises in weight off that effort, highlighting that this race is an easier one on paper. Maps to get every chance after being caught wide last time and can make his presence felt. KING EQUINE (6) makes his debut in HK today after winning at Randwick before being sold. Ethan Brown rides on his HK debut and his trials have been sound. Can make an immediate impact. MEGASTAR HEART (4) has spent a long time off the scene but has had three trials this time in. Looks ready to fire on resumption despite the long layoff.
