Verdict

BUNDLE AWARD (4) is a very progressive ex-Australian gelding who was bought after winning his first 3 races in a row. He is heading the right way in his first couple of local starts and with James McDonald in the irons, he is the one to beat. ROMANTIC SON (9) has been racing well since arriving in Hong Kong and steps out to 7f for the first time which should suit him. Zac Purton sticks with him and so do we. SKY TRUST (3) has some issues with his breathing and needs to have his breathing right to be a threat. He was unsuited by leading last time out and will be ridden a lot more patiently this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. NEW FOREST (10) is making his local debut after showing promise in Australia. His lead-up trial form has been good and he can start off his Hong Kong career on a positive note. PACKING POWER (1) was unlucky when chasing 4 wins in a row 9 weeks ago and should be ready to run a good race fresh up. A market watch is advised.
