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

Solid tempo likely from Frantanck and Good Luck Babe. MAGNIFICENT NINE (5) was a horror watch for punters last start, never seeing clear running until it was too late, beaten 1.3L. This looks to shape similarly from a good draw, though suspect Avdulla will be trying to get him out with plenty of time to spare. Can correct the wrongs of last start. YUEN LONG ELITE (3) finished 2.5L off the winner last start over 1400m and steps up to the mile for the first time today. The rise in trip doesn't look an issue and he has the speed to work across from the deep if Yeung chooses to. Racing well this campaign and rates a winning contender. FLYING LUCK (4) got too far back to threaten last start as favourite, though the form out of that race has worked out well and his efforts prior produced strong ratings. Now gets some weight relief with the claim of Wong and he can bounce back. EXCELLENCE VALUE (2) wasn't far away last start at Happy Valley and now gets Purton as he returns to Sha Tin. Include.
