Solid tempo set by Flaming Rabbit and All For St Paul's who are both capable of leading. CHILL CHIBI (6) jumps right off the page after a strong effort in the HK Derby 27 days ago. That was his first try at 2000m after a running some great races over this trip at Happy Valley, and he wasn't far away in the Classic Cup here two back. Kept the legs moving with a recent trial and if he can run up to his Derby effort in this, he should be winning. C P BRAVE (7) was just too far back chase down the winner last time out and found plenty of trouble in the straight to boot. Draws a much better gate this time and he drops in weight rising back to C2 today. Will make his presence felt. THE BEST PEACH (5) was outclassed in the Chairman's Trophy at G2 level last start and performs best at this level. Beat C P Brave two back and is another who can be a touch closer from a nice alley. Live chance. SPEED DRAGON (12) brings the 4YO Series form into this and is worth including right at the bottom of the weights.
