RAGING BLIZZARD CAN WIN AGAIN

RACE 1 (1,650M) 5 Falcon Court has been unlucky since dropping into Class 5, though his performances have shown merit. Zac Purton takes the reins and boosts his chances.

l O Medic Elite benefits from barrier 2 and is always competitive over this course and distance.

9 Cool Blue has to overcome an outside gate, but his recent efforts since joining Cody Mo's yard have been promising.

7 Invincible Missile returns to his preferred track after two outings at Sha Tin. He is capable of showing improvement.

RACE 2 (1,650M) 4 Apolar Fighter should enjoy a much kinder run stepping away from barrier 2, after racing wide without cover last time when he was unable to pose a threat.

10 Ninja Derby's last-start fourth carried merit, considering he raced wide and without cover, was allowed to stride forward, and raced outside the lead before fading late due to the early work.

l Harmony Galaxy produced his best performance when runner-up to Capital Legend last start and looks set to continue improving.

2 Sturdy Ruby faces a tougher task following his breakthrough win last time.

RACE 3 (1,2oo M) 2 Ruby Sailing remains winless after 15 starts, but he benefits from a drop into Class 5. Purton takes the reins and, from a good gate, he should improve second-up after a decent effort.

5 Verbier has been knocking on the door, and his trial between runs indicates that he has maintained his condition. With Hugh Bowman aboard, his chances are strong.

l Cosmo Navigator signalled readiness to win after a narrow third last time.
