Super Fortune and Magic Hallow have the pace to vie for the lead from their wide draws. LA FORZA (3) resumed from a freshen last start in disappointing fashion, jumping the race favourite and never really looking likely. He'll be better for that effort however and he had trialled well between runs. Happy to overlook one poor performance and expect him to bounce back to form. MAJESTIC EXPRESS (6) ran over the top to score narrowly here 23 days ago in a strong performance. He rises in weight, but he's trialled nicely since that effort and he'll be out of trouble from the barrier. Can repeat the dose without surprising. ACE CHAMPION (9) has moved well at the trials since arriving in Hong Kong from Ireland where was n impressive debut winner. He's down in the weights and he's shown good speed at the trials. Can give a bold sight on debut. SMART AVENUE (11) is another making his HK debut. He may be better over further but this looks a nice kick off point for him.
