Verdict

ROBOT LUCKY STAR (1) got the job done two back at Sha Tin before a 0.8L defeat at this track and trip last time out. Purton remains in the saddle today and while he will need some luck from the draw, he rates highly off that latest effort. Can go one better now. YEE CHEONG SPIRIT (7) bumped into a good one two back before closing off strongly here last start after being slowly away. J-Mac takes the ride now and hopefully he'll be able to take closer order from the low draw. Can make his presence felt. DAN ATTACK (9) is racing in hot form, getting the job done again here last start when leading all the way. Up in weight now is the query, but he continues to raise the bar and is not to be discounted. LUCK SMILES (4) has shown promising signs in his past couple of trials and is worth including.
