|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with the speedy Cheerful Wongchoy leading the way. HAPPY BOSS (2) missed by 4L two starts ago but turned in a much-improved effort most recently when beaten in a photo finish as the race favourite. The form out of that has worked out well and he's trialled nicely since. Needs some luck from the draw, but he's a progressive type and can go one better today. INVICTUS DRAGON (7) has flown home to miss narrowly in his past couple and he draws a slightly better barrier today. Purton sticks with him and he's right on the cusp of a maiden win. Can get the job done this time around without surprising. TYCOON EXPRESS (9) has ended up a long way back from his wide draws to begin his career, though he now teams up with the stable's strike jockey Joao Moreira. He may end up back in the run again, but he's got upside and he can continue to build. THE CONCENTRATION (14) can get back to winning ways this time around after missing in a tight finish as favourite last time out.
