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

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Frantanck. HAKKA RADIANCE (10) made it back-to-back wins over this track and trip last start when scoring b 0.2L last time out. He rises in grade today, but drops 5kg and gets Zac Purton in the saddle today. Rates highly off his past couple of wins and should be able to bring up the hat-trick. FOREVER GLORIOUS (2) sat up on the speed first-up over 1650m and is better suited by the rise in trip today. He draws well again and the cheekpieces going on looks a big tick. Rates well already and with improvement expected, he'll be very hard to hold out. FRANTANCK (1) is fresh up today on the back of a couple nice trials coming into this. He's fired first-up in the past and the claim of Wong comes in handy. Can fire a shot. FIREFOOT (9) just missed at Sha Tin last start over this trip. May need a touch of luck from the barrier but he's good enough to take this out.
