Verdict

NORTHERN ALLIANCE (8) is the clear horse to beat after putting together two wins at this track, both by two and a half lengths, and the latest as a well-supported favourite from Pacific Diamond. His record at this track and distance is another strong plank, with two wins from five attempts, and Su Lim has won two from five on him. RED DRAGON (5) brings the seasoned profile, having been beaten only a length and a half as favourite over 1 ?m last start after a tougher Class 3 run the start prior, and C C Wong's four wins from twelve rides on him read very well. MEGA SUCCESS (4) is still a maiden, but he was third last week, beaten just over a length, and has placed three times from five starts at this venue. COMBUSTION (6) was beaten just under a length last start after being prominent in an open market, and his previous fourth behind Pacific Rainbow gives him enough substance to stay in the winning mix.

8	Arrives in winning form after scoring by two and a half lengths at this track as a well-supported favourite, again beating Pacific Diamond after doing the same the start prior. That gives him consecutive wins by clear margins, while two wins from five at this track and distance underlines the suitability of this race. With Su Lim also two from five aboard, he sets the standard and is the one they have to beat. 1st Pick 8 Northern Alliance Jockey: Su Lim Trainer: J Lim J: Su Lim T: J Lim	98	-	-	-	13%

5	Returns from a five-week freshening after a close third to Pacific Rainbow over 1m at this track, beaten a length and a half as favourite. His previous run was plain in Class 3 company, but this is a more suitable assignment and his record with C C Wong is a major asset: four wins and four places from twelve rides. With ten wins around 1m, he has the right profile to press hard. 2nd Pick 5 Red Dragon Jockey: C C Wong Trainer: C C Ooi J: C C Wong T: C C Ooi	134	-	-	-	20%

4	Went close last week when third to Kim Empire over 7f at this track, beaten just over a length as an outside chance in the betting. That was a useful rebound from a ninth behind Rhythm Of Zen over 6f, and his overall record of three placings from five starts at this venue shows he is genuine. The 1m is new territory, but he is lightly raced and has the recent form to run very well. 3rd Pick 4 Mega Success Jockey: Jackson Low Trainer: J Lau J: Jackson Low T: J Lau	70	-	-	-	29%
