Good Luck Win can cross and lead with a good tempo in store. GOOD LUCK WIN (11) sat close to the speed last start and sprinted away to win by 2.3L over this track and trip. He rises in grade but drops in weight following that effort, but the performance was very impressive and he won running away. Loves this track and trip and can repeat the dose. SETANTA (9) comes into this on the fresh side which seems to work best for him as he boasts a good fresh record. He'll be fitter for two trials at Conghua and he's right down in the weights now. Watch for him launching late in the race. ROCKET SPADE (4) is another who seems to relish the motto 'fresh is best' having won 2/5 first-up in his career. Bowman partnered him in his latest trial and sticks with him today. Likely to get back from the draw and can play a major role. FLYING FORTRESS (10) went under as favourite last start but is better than he showed there. Drawn well again and won't be far away.
