F: 486XB(1)W(58.5)

Not far away in only three starts in Hong Kong. Little to go on but early money has come for it and short odds suggest its been showing something at home.

6 Mivirgo
F: 43XB(3)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-P & D Williams )
Two runs back in August, in first campaign, and went close, albeit on the synthetic. Resumes and booking of warren Kennedy an indication that it has the ability to be winning

Top Pick
10 Lady Moana
F: 3B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Trial winner before running well for third on debut a month ago. From a stable that has them 'ready' when they race, will be improved for that experience
Main Danger
3 Navy Chief
F: 587B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Masa Hashizume )
( T-Nicholas Bishara )
Trainers runners have to be watched. Terrific debut run back on October, when just behind Monday winner About Time, and repeat of that probably wins this

Won
F: 281X6B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Elen Nicholas )
( T-Ralph Manning )
Although sixth in first run back two weeks ago, was in fact only just over a length from the winner. Takes improvement and we like its chances
Main Danger
3 On The Wall
F: 1746XB(3)W(58.5)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Chris Gibbs )
Won here in August but didn't really go on with it from there. The talent is there though and now resuming can run well fresh, as record shows

F: 2054XB(5)W(57.5)

2 Mad Max
F: 48X4B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Returned from only previous runs in Melbourne to win a trial at Taupo. Was warm favourite when resuming nearly four weeks ago, on the back of that, but disappointed. Warren Kennedy takes over and will be fitter now
Main Danger
9 Bee On Time

( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Chris Gibbs )
Interesting to see this one dropped back to 1600m given it went close over 2000m last start. Run down that day and has chance of leading from the front out of gate 3 today. Sam Weatherley takes the reins
