HIGHLAND REEL HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expect a strong tempo with Drombeg Banner pressing on from an outside draw, with Healthy Happy nearby. PUBLIC ATTENTION (12) was very impressive in his Hong Kong debut, finishing 0.5L away when sitting on the speed under his big weight. He's since won a trial on the All Weather and he drops 9kg for the rise in grade today. His fresh run suggested he was up to this grade and he can go one better. DANCING CODE (4) missed by 1.8L over the 1200m journey most recently and has turned in a nice trial since that effort. The inside draw should see him get every chance out to the 1400m where he's never won, though has placed 7/14. Can put his best foot forward. AERIS NOVA (8) has missed in his past two races by 0.5L when finishing off strongly from midfield or worse. His latest trial was very good and getting back out to 1400m now looks a good move. Rates highly as he drops in weight and is expected to be in the finish. KARMA (11) can improve on the fresh effort today and looks well placed back to his preferred track and trip.
