Massive Action has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BERLIN TANGO (3) was superb from the back at Happy Valley last time out when beaten 0.5L. His run over this course and distance the start prior was very good as well. He'll be spotting them a start which is a niggle, but if he can run up to his most recent effort he'll take beating. WOODFIRE BRO (4) is 83 days between runs but he has been back to the trials since a disappointing effort at Sha Tin on February 18. He's a winner at this course and distance and half of his career victories have been over this trip. Can settle up front and be hard to catch. M UNICORN (5) beat a lot of his main rivals last start when storming home from the back to win by 0.1L. Vincent Ho hops back in the saddle and while he does rise in weight, he gave them all a big start last time out and still ran them down. APACHE PASS (2) gets out to his preferred course and distance now after a couple of prep runs. Bowman on is a big tick. Expecting him to turn his form around.
