Keefy can cross from out wide to set the tempo. THE BOOM BOX (11) stepped out to 1650m last time out and was far too good, winning by 0.8L when running over the top. Out to this trip for the first time today, though it does look to suit on what he showed last time out. Down in the weights now and he profiles beautifully for a race like this. SPEED DRAGON (2) never really got into the race last start but his win here fresh was superb. He's unbeaten at this track and trip and he's a horse that suits Barzalona's racing style perfectly. Third-up now in what looks a targeted race and he can bounce back to winning ways. SKY HEART (7) stuck on well 10 days ago at Sha Tin over the mile and steps out to this trip for the third time in his career. He should land in a beautiful position under Rispoli and his effort here two back was very impressive. Can be in the finish once more. HUGE WAVE (4) was too good over 1650m last time out and can repeat the dose out in trip for the first time.
