Nebraskan can take up the running. FLYING WROTE (4) went under narrowly coming back to this track and trip last time out, beaten as a $4.90 chance. He'll need some luck form the barrier, but his latest effort rates highly. Still on the way up and can go one better this time around. GROOVY FEELING (6) has been back to the trials since his last start at Sha Tin 80 days ago and he gets the blinkers on for the first time today. He trialled well at this track on March 14 and can put his best foot forward. GIANT LEAP (3) is drawn a touch awkwardly today but has turned in some good efforts here recently. He's a two-time winner at the track and trip and he can make his presence felt. NEBRASKAN (8) improved sharply last start and rates well off that performance. Now gets Hugh Bowman in the saddle and he'll take beating if he can run up to that level again.
