RACE 1 (1,200M) 4 Urban Triumph plops into Class 5 with solid Class 4 form. He draws well and should settle closer than last start, where he was strong late after being well back.
1 Fairy Horse is another class-dropper. Blinkers on for the first time, and it will be intriguing to see how he jumps after bounding out during a recent trial.
3 Country Dancer had excuses in his first Class 5 attempt last start. Barrier 9 is less ideal but he is nearing a win as Zac Purton remains in the plate.
10 Rattan World benefits from barrier 1, and third-up off a strong second-place finish, he looks primed to perform well if he can capitalise from his inside gate.
RACE 2 (1,200M) 10 The Good Deal is an interesting prospect, as Purton teams up with Douglas Whyte on this seven-year-old. From barrier 1, he is set for a cleaner run after a troubled trip last start, where he lost ground early and remained back.
8 Ho Ho Star might offer value after being the favourite in his last two runs. He has a more favourable barrier 4 than the wide gate he had at Sha Tin last start.
3 Winning Heart raced wide without cover in his Class 5 debut but should benefit from barrier 2.
1 Joyful Life has shown promise since dropping in class and, though a late check last start dashed his chances, he should rebound.
RACE 3 (1,200M) 5 Speedy Chariot had no luck from barrier 12 last start and his 11th-placed finish can be disregarded. Now drawn in barrier 2, he looks primed for his maiden win.
1 Super Elite benefits from gate 3 and reuniting with Hugh Bowman, who holds a strong record on this five-year-old.
