Verdict

LOYALTY BANKER'S (8) sets the benchmark after a sound debut second at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Navarre Crown after starting near the top of betting. That effort also has a useful head-to-head edge over Mega Universe, and the track-and-distance placing gives him the clearest exposed profile. ANJOU CAVALIER (1) has not placed in two starts, but he comes through an Open fifth over 7f, drops into a Restricted race and is fitter third-up for a leading stable. MEGA UNIVERSE (2) has finished fourth and fifth from two runs and is also third-up, with enough improvement in his latest margin to stay in the winning discussion despite needing to turn around the Loyalty Banker's line. ROYAL BAY (4) has been soundly beaten at both runs this campaign, yet the class drop and weight relief make him a place chance if he can produce a much sharper performance back around 6 ¼f.

8	Made the right sort of debut at this track, finishing second to Navarre Crown and beaten two and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. He has already placed at both the venue and distance, and that performance gives him a direct edge over Mega Universe from the same race. With a leading jockey and trainer combination behind him, he brings the strongest exposed form and looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 8 Loyalty Banker's Jockey: Joe Kamaruddin Trainer: Lim Boon Thong J: Joe Kamaruddin T: Lim Boon Thong	122	-	-	-	56%

1	Worked into this campaign with a fifth in an Open over 7f at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Sun Moon Stars after being sent out at big odds. His debut sixth in a CRM was plain, but he is fitter third-up and drops into a Restricted race for a leading trainer. The return to 6 ¼f is a small query off one unplaced try at the trip, yet the class relief gives him a solid winning platform. 2nd Pick 1 Anjou Cavalier Jockey: C C Wong Trainer: S Dunderdale J: C C Wong T: S Dunderdale	142	-	-	-	13%

2	Has shown enough in two starts to remain a genuine threat, finishing fourth on debut before a fifth at this track when beaten just over five lengths by Navarre Crown. He was again at generous odds, so the market has not strongly found him, but he is now third-up and should be ready to produce his best run. The Loyalty Banker's form line has to be reversed, though he still profiles as a live winning chance. 3rd Pick 2 Mega Universe Jockey: Su Lim Trainer: F H Maynard J: Su Lim T: F H Maynard	112	-	-	-	13%
