Solid tempo with A Time For Us, Let's Have Fun and Helene Supafeeling going hard, closely attended by Giant Leap. GENEVA (3) has always shown some promise and his trials coming in this time suggest he's ready to take the next level this time around. Bowman was on board for his latest trial and he remains in the saddle today. Drawn a little sticky, but has the class to knock this over first-up. CIRCUIT GRAND SLAM (1) settled last and charged down the outside to score as a 50-1 chance after a very long layoff. It was a good training performance and the figure he turned in there suggested he is back as good as ever. He's trialled well since then again and he's not to be discounted with Soumillon taking the ride. LET'S HAVE FUN (11) has trialled well since arriving in Hong Kong with Yeung sticking from his latest trial. The cheekpieces go on for the first time today and he can play a leading role. HELENE SUPAFEELING (4) is another HK debutant today and J-Mac's booking is a good push for his chances. Can make a statement.
