Slick pace with Hong Kong Hall finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Tipping VICTORY MOMENTS (5) can turn the tables this time as Zac Purton hops in the saddle. He was just 0.8L off the winner last time out and he meets that rival better at the weights today. Sticky alley, but trust Purton to get it right and he can be running over the top of them late. SING DRAGON (4) has beaten Victory Moments the last two times they've met, the latest by 0.8L. He should find the front from a kind barrier and he may still have more improvement to come being just 9 starts into his career. Nicely placed and can win again. REWARD SMILE (2)
resumes today and will be fitter for three trials coming in. he was a beaten favourite in tougher company to end last campaign and now Bowman rides with the pacifiers on first time. Can play a major role. MONTA FRUTTA (9) ran over the top to score last time out and carries no weight as he rises in grade. Can be flashing home late.
