Verdict

MR COOL (2) had plenty of excuses when finishing out of the money last time out over 1 m at Sha Tin All Weather prior to a short break. He has won a trial since then, and Zac Purton keeps the faith from that run, so give him another chance. On top for us. FLOW WATER FLOW (4) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Happy Valley over 6f, beaten by just under a length. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Big threat over the longer journey. NORTHERN FIRE BALL (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when ninth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 6f at Happy Valley. Untried over this journey but will be peaking third up from a spell, and he is worth one more chance. MADE FOR LIFE (8) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. The blinkers are on for the first time, and a form reversal is on the cards. Stick with him.
