New Forest has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SIX PACK (8) flew home to just miss over this course and distance 15 days ago, beaten 0.3L. He draws a better barrier this time around ad should be able to take up a more prominent position. Couldn't go on with the job last time but with more in his favour now, he can go one better. WINNING OVATION (4) toppled Six Pack last start with a gutsy performance from the front, holding on to win by a neck. Badel hops back on board today and he's unbeaten when he's aboard this gelding. Building a nice record in HK and while he gets some things against today, he's good enough to bring up his fourth win in-a-row. JOHANNES BRAHMS (3) resumes here in an easier race and has trialled nicely coming in. Can be positive from the barrier and feature on his best form. DROMBEG BANNER (5) gets the claim of Yuen here and will be tough to catch from up front.
