Verdict

CHEONGRYONGUI CAL (9) met with solid support last start over 1m at this track when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Drawn out but rates highly and can play a big part. DRAGON KILLER (10) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on January 18 over 1 ¹/16m when he got home by 8 lengths. Winning rider C C Wong retains the mount. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RYAN HEART (8) finished tenth at his second-up appearance over 6f at this track but it is worth noting he won at the only third-up run. One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. SEGWANG FIGHTER (2) improved last start to finish third over 1 ?m at this track. Well placed to play a part again.
