Viva Graciousness can work over from a wide alley to lead. SOARING BRONCO (11) was too good over the mile at Sha Tin last start, winning by 0.8L after running over the top from midfield. He's up in grade today, but he drops 7kgs and he was competitive in C4 prior to his drop in grade. Nicely placed here and he can repeat the dose. AMAZING AWARD (8) was well beaten last time out but his form prior was solid. The blinkers replace the winkers now and he should be finishing off strongly from back in the pack. VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (1) is hard to knock on recent form and now he gets Purton in the saddle. His form may have been franked earlier in the card and he won't be far away. TOP TIME (7) improved nicely last time out and steps out to the 1650m journey now which looks to suit. Can improve again with the rise in distance and can play a major role.
