From their low gates Mister Dapper and Stormi should vie for the lead. FIVEFORTWO (3) disappointed two back but bounced back to form last start when only 0.8L off the winner. Drawn wider this time but he rates highly on what he did last time out and if Ferraris adopts similar tactics, he can go one better. SMART AVENUE (1) flew home to score as the race favourite at Sha Tin last start, scoring by 0.5L. Purton remains in the saddle today as he comes to Happy Valley for the first time, but he still has some upside and can continue to work through the grades. ALL ROUND WINNER (6) is better than he showed last week when getting back and never featuring here. On the quick turnaround today and can bounce back to his best form today. WITHOUT COMPARE (4) is racing in good order and should appreciate getting back to this track and trip today. Building a handy record and is not to be discounted.
