Not expecting them to go too hard without a recognised leader engaged. HEALTHY HEALTHY (8) boasts a good record over this track and trip and is a fresh winner previously. He bolted in at the trials recently with Purton on board and he partners the gelding again today. He has the speed to cross and lead from the draw and he'll take plenty of catching from out in front. KAHOLO ANGEL (1) ticks plenty of boxes today as he drops back in grade and returns to his preferred track and trip. Hugh Bowman went close on him a couple of times at the end of last season and he should be handy from the draw. Wouldn't surprise to see improvement off the fresh effort. PARTERRE (5) led and won over this trip at Sha Tin in July and will be fitter for a recent trial. Hewitson remains in the saddle and with a handy barrier, he'll make his presence felt. MUST GO (3) hasn't raced at this track and trip but does have plenty of figures that suggest he can be in the finish.
