Verdict

SKY JEWELLERY (3) looks strong after finishing fourth, just two lengths behind, in the G2 Sha Tin Trophy at this track as the favorite. He closed well enough there to suggest 1 ?m isn't an issue and although he's drawn wide, he can round these up and get his campaign back on track. MASSIVE SOVEREIGN (4) won last start in Class 2 at Happy Valley after being held up in what was a big return to form. Lor seems to have him going well and reuniting with Purton is a big tick for his chances. Can repeat the dose. BEAUTY JOY (1) finished only two and a half lengths behind in the same G2 as Sky Jewellery and is proven at this distance. He can be hard to catch, but he's good enough to win this if he's on song. NUMBERS (2) returns after six months, a half-length second to Romantic Warrior in the G1 Champions & Chater Cup reads well and his two trials back this time suggest he can fire a shot on resumption.
