Pace a scorcher, headed by One More, Justifying and Magic Hallow, closely followed by Fast Speed and Big Return. JUSTIFYING (10) couldn't have been more impressive on debut when leading and kicking away to score by a whopping 3.8L at this course and distance. He was a $2.60 chance there and the form out of that race has been good. He's up in grade, but he's a very exciting prospect and he can bring up back-to-back wins. CELESTIAL COLOURS (1) sat on the speed last time out and finished 1.3L off the winner at Happy Valley most recently. He's turned in a nice trial since then and he was narrowly beaten the last time he raced over this track and trip. Drawn the wrong side, but possesses good early speed and should be in the finish. FUN ELITE (9) has been close his past couple and drops back to the 1000m journey today. He's a winner at this track and trip previously and with some luck he can go close. ONE MORE (3) makes his HK debut today after beginning his life in South Africa. He's trialled well coming in and Purton hops in the saddle for his debut. Can put his best foot forward.
