|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with Nebraskan leading the way. TEAM HAPPY (8) sat handy and only just missed out on victory here last start, beaten 0.8L when a $18 chance. The form out of that race has been franked and now Purton takes the ride. Should be able to land close again and can get the job done this time. CONCORDE STAR (3) is Ethan Brown's first ride in Hong Kong and it's a good one at that. He was a little disappointing again last start at this track and trip behind Team Happy, but the blinkers come off again today he should get his chance from the draw. Can play a leading role. THOUSAND CUPS (5) led them up last start and was just 0.5L away, beating home Team Happy and Concorde Stat in the process. The wide draw this time makes things a little tougher, but he has good early speed and he can be in this for a very long way. NEBRASKAN (4) is some query at the trip, though the inside draw and Atzeni on board should see him get every chance.
