Verdict

PERFECT GENERAL (6) led and won over this course and distance 21 days ago, scoring by 0.5L as the race favourite. He continues to work through the grades and Ho remains in the saddle. Can roll forward from the draw and make every post a winner once again. LUCKY PLANET (5) bolted in last start over this track and trip and rises up to C3 once again today. He has the speed to roll across from out wide and drops 11lbs for today's assignment. Can repeat the dose without surprising. SPIRIT OF PEACE (12) was beaten narrowly here 21 days ago at this track and trip and now gets Andre Atzeni in the saddle. He carries no weight today and while he is likely to get back in the run, he can be finishing with a wet sail. GOLDENTRONICMIGHTY (11) has been finishing off strongly in recent efforts at Sha Tin and can play a leading role here.
