Verdict

YEE CHEONG SPIRIT (7) missed by 1.3L here two back in a strong showing before a 2.3L defeat most recently 27 days ago. Now he gets Purton in the saddle and he gets the blinkers on for the first time. Can sit handy from the inside barrier and return to winning ways. WINNING NOW (6) didn't have the best of luck on debut at Sha Tin before a strong effort here most recently, only beaten 3L. Chau remains in the saddle today and the inside draw should see him handy in the run. Nice trial recently and he can make his presence felt. FATAL BLOW (2) missed narrowly last start at this track and trip when getting across from the wide draw. He'll need to show that early speed again from out wide, but he stuck on well there and turned in a strong figure. Live chance based on that latest effort. CALIFORNIA BLITZ (3) got the job done last start to continue his strong run of form. Can be in this for a long way once again.
