Verdict

NAUTICAL FORCE (10) won impressively here two back before jumping favourite over 1 ½m in the Queen Mother Memorial Cup. He's been back to the trials since where he was solid and coming back to 1 ?m is a big tick. Right down in the weights here now and can bounce back to winning ways. SILVERY BREEZE (7) is racing well at Happy Valley, winning by 0.3L over this distance last time out. He'll need a touch of luck from the barrier, but Atzeni partnered him two starts ago and reunites now. Drops in weight here and looks poised to strike coming to Sha Tin. BEAUTY JOY (5) was strong late in The Lion Rock Trophy last start when missing out in a photo finish. He's a winner up to 1 ?m previously and Moreira now takes the ride. Drops in weight off his last effort and can't be left out. CAP FERRAT (1) is better than he showed last start and looks better placed coming back to this race. Can turn in a much better effort.
