Verdict

GEORGIAN SIGMA (2) sets the standard after a win over Iron Security at this track and a sound second to Super Sixty, beaten just under two lengths. Importantly this time, he finally draws a barrier and won't have to work as hard early. Should lob into a lovely position and can get back to winning ways. RUBY THRIVE (3) is the main danger on recent Sha Tin form, having beaten Precision Mind two starts ago before a fourth to Supreme Voyager when beaten just under a length. DRAGON SKY FORCE (6) is lightly raced but brings upside after being held up then running on late for fourth behind Let's Have Fun, with barrier 1 giving him a good chance to take the next step. GHORGAN (10) is the more complicated winning hope: his last-start tenth as favourite was plain, but the prior third at Sha Tin was beaten only a neck and the weight relief gives him scope to rebound sharply.
