Verdict

GALLANT DESIGN (2) sets the standard on exposed form, having closed last campaign with a two-length fourth at this venue after a second to Joyful Joy the start before. His trials coming in have been superb and Purton sticks from his latest heat. Can return with a bang. DRAGON SKY FORCE (3) has only raced once, yet his debut fourth behind Lahore had merit after he stayed on under pressure and he looks the main danger based on his recent trial. Maps for a lovely run and should be right in the finish. NOBLE SUPERIOR (7) brings the sharpest recent run, beaten just under a length by Kempes first-up, and has the right fitness edge to hold that form. LET'S HAVE FUN (12) is race-fit third-up, has closed off in both runs this campaign and gets another chance if he begins cleanly and uses his finish earlier.

2	Returns from a lengthy spell with the best exposed form in the race, having finished fourth at this track behind Master Lucky when beaten two lengths after racing near the speed. That followed a solid second to Joyful Joy, and four placings from seven starts at this venue underline his consistency. Still a maiden, but brings the most reliable winning case. 1st Pick 2 Gallant Design Jockey: Zac Purton Trainer: Jamie Richards J: Zac Purton T: Jamie Richards	111	-	-	-	23%	7/2

3	Returns from a lengthy spell after a promising debut fourth at this track, beaten two lengths by Lahore at big odds. He settled rear of midfield and kept working through the line, suggesting there is more to come with race experience. New to 6f under race conditions, but looks a major danger. 2nd Pick 3 Dragon Sky Force Jockey: Matthew Chadwick Trainer: P F Yiu J: Matthew Chadwick T: P F Yiu	38	-	-	-	20%	4/1

7	Produced a much better return when second at this track behind Kempes, beaten just under a length at big odds after beginning well and racing forward. He is still lightly raced and that first-up run gives him a strong platform to improve again. Lightly raced, suited at 6f and has a strong chance to go one better. 3rd Pick 7 Noble Superior Jockey: M Yeung Trainer: K H Ting J: M Yeung T: K H Ting	99	-	-	-	20%	4/1
