Strong tempo primarily from Wave Garden, Young Superstar and Pakistan Legacy over Triumphant More and Moduleconstruction. PAKISTAN LEGACY (4) is knocking on the door of another victory, finishing 0.5L off the winner last start at this track and trip. He's turned in a nice trial behind Lucky Sweynesse since and Purton hops in the irons this time. Can roll forward from the wide draw and go one better. TRIUMPHANT MORE (2) was a good winner two back before a 1.3L defeat most recently when sitting up on the speed. He lost no admirers there though and he's well placed from a nice barrier once again. He's expected to be in the finish. ALL ROUND WINNER (6) resumes with a few trials under his belt after making his way over from Australia. His trial form has been good and Atzeni's booking is a positive sign. Can play a role in his HK debut. AERIS NOVA (3) got the job done narrowly last start but rates highly off that. Can repeat the dose.
