Verdict

LOVE TOGETHER (3) disappointed two back before a 0.8L victory last time out at this track and trip as the race favourite. He rates highly on that win and still has plenty of room for improvement being a lightly raced 3YO. Can land midfield from the draw and get over the top of his rivals again. CANDLELIGHT DINNER (5) won two back in fine style before a disappointing effort when out to 6f at Sha Tin. Back to the scene of the crime here and he possesses good early speed to offset the tricky draw. Can bounce back in a big way. ETERNAL FORTUNE (4) hasn't won for a while but continues to knock on the door, finishing 2.8L behind Love Together last time out. Needs some luck from out wide but has plenty of ratings that say he's good enough. IRON SECURITY (8) has shown glimpses at the trials and is not to be discounted in his HK debut.
