Abundant early pressure from the speedy pair Frantanck and Voyage Samurai. Great race. STAR MAC (3) just missed in a similar event to this before taking on the 4YO Series. Well beaten in the Derby but his best run came over this course and distance in the HK Classic Cup. Winkers go back on and he should get every chance from the draw. Looks well placed to score. STUNNING PEACH (1) has been trialling around some very nice horses lately, hitting the line locked together with Romantic Warrior in his most recent trial. This trip first-up looks to suit and he gets a big tick with Purton on board. Can make a statement in his HK debut. VOYAGE SAMURAI (7) is an up-and-coming galloper with plenty of ability, knocking over a Class 4 with ease when leading throughout 28 days ago. Up in grade today, but he drops 6kg and he should find the front again out to a mile. Can build on his winning record. FRANTANCK (2) is racing in fine form of late and is sure to be thereabouts once again.
