Verdict

QUANTUM LEGEND (2) is the one to beat back in a C4 after finishing sixth in C3 company at this track, beaten just under two lengths as favourite. He has been given six weeks since then, is third-up, and Zac Purton taking the ride for Mark Newnham adds further confidence. YODA'S CHOICE (4) is the clear danger after winning first-up at this track over 1 ?m, where he beat Glorious St Paul's by just under a length and never looked like being caught. His synthetic record is strong and the 7lbs claim keeps him right in the contest. ENTHRALLED (6) resumes from five months off after two close Sha Tin thirds over 1 ?m and 1 ¼m, both in well-supported runs, so his class and consistency command respect even though he is back to 1 m. HERO RISING (8) is still a maiden, but his nose second to Happy Universe at this track was his best run yet and gives him a genuine chance if he can repeat it.

2	Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing sixth in Class 3 company at this track, beaten just under two lengths after being sent out favourite. His prior sixth at Sha Tin came with pressure late, but this is a more suitable Class 4 assignment and Zac Purton goes on for a leading stable. Purton on for Newnham makes him the horse to beat. 1st Pick 2 Quantum Legend Jockey: Zac Purton Trainer: Mark Newnham J: Zac Purton T: Mark Newnham	95	-	-	-	13%	7/1

4	Resumed in winning form at this track over 1m, scoring by just under a length from Glorious St Paul's and holding them safely late. That built on a useful synthetic profile, including one win and three placings from eight starts at this track and distance. The 7lbs claim keeps him a major threat again. 2nd Pick 4 Yoda's Choice Jockey: Nichola Yuen Trainer: Pierre Ng J: Nichola Yuen T: Pierre Ng	128	-	-	-	13%	7/1

6	Returns from a lengthy spell after closing last preparation with consecutive Sha Tin thirds, the latest over 1 ¼m when beaten just under a length and well found in betting. He had earlier been third over 1m on good-to-yielding ground, again near the top of an open market. Back in trip is the query, but his form reads strongly. 3rd Pick 6 Enthralled Jockey: Andrea Atzeni Trainer: John Size J: Andrea Atzeni T: John Size	71	-	-	-	13%	7/1
