Plenty of pace evident with Ka Ying Warrior and Sea Sapphire leading the way from Autumn Vibes and Brownneedsfurther. BROWNNEEDSFURTHER (2) closed off strongly fresh at Happy Valley and now comes to Sha Tin. The cheekpieces go on today and he's turned in a quiet trial since his latest effort. Looks open to plenty of improvement now and can land the knockout blow. VIGOR EYE (5) is on debut for the Hayes barn with Avdulla in the saddle having partnered this gelding all the way through. He's been very impressive in his last two trials and maps to get every chance from the inside draw. Looks to have some class about him and he can make an immediate impact. AUTUMN VIBES (10) has the speed to roll across from barrier 10 and getting back to the more spacious Sha Tin circuit looks ideal. Still a maiden after 8 starts, but has turned in some strong figures and this looks a good opportunity to shed that tag. LITTLE MONSTER (6) flew home last start down the straight course and looks ready for this trip now. Can play a leading role.
