Verdict

KIM EMPIRE (3) has the most reliable recent profile, with consecutive thirds at this track and the latest only beaten just over a length after being near the top of betting. The apprentice claim helps, he has a solid record with this jockey, and the recent line through Big Max reads well enough to make him the horse to beat. SKY KING (1) comes back from Class 4 and Class 3 races and is better placed returning to 7f, where his broader record and this track-and-distance form give him a strong case despite the top weight. BIG MAX (7) was only sixth last time, but his win two starts ago as a well-supported favourite and his excellent this track-and-distance placing record keep him right in the argument. TOP SHOW (9) was below market expectation as favourite last start, yet his previous second was sound and his record at this venue and distance makes him a genuine each-way player.

3	Has put together two strong placings at this track, most recently third and beaten just over a length after being near the top of betting. He had also run third behind Military Award the start prior, and that form ties in well through Big Max, whom he beat three weeks ago. The 7lbs claim is useful, and his consistent recent work makes him the most convincing winning chance. 1st Pick 3 Kim Empire Jockey: J Ikram Trainer: Richard Lines J: J Ikram T: Richard Lines	88	-	-	-	25%

1	Comes back from tougher recent assignments after finishing fifth in a Class 4 over 1m at this track, beaten six and a half lengths, following a seventh in Class 3 company. The return to 7f looks a key positive, with one win and four placings from seven starts around the trip, and he has already won at this track and distance. The top weight is the query, but the class drop gives him a strong winning platform. 2nd Pick 1 Sky King Jockey: Simon Kok Trainer: C C Ooi J: Simon Kok T: C C Ooi	76	-	-	-	15%

7	Was below his best when sixth over 6f at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths by Military Award, but his previous win reads much better. He beat Iron Ruler here as a well-supported favourite and has one win and four placings from five starts at this track and distance. With two wins and three placings from six starts under this jockey, he can rebound strongly. 3rd Pick 7 Big Max Jockey: Jackson Low Trainer: Nm Selvan J: Jackson Low T: Nm Selvan	70	-	-	-	23%
