Verdict

LIVEANDLETLIVE (3) won well here two back before a 0.3L defeat at this track and trip most recently. He's been back to the trials since here he won well and Bowman hops back on board today. Can dictate from the front and return to winning ways. BEAUTY ALLIANCE (2) wasn't beaten far last start at Sha Tin following a 1.8L defeat at this track and trip prior. Purton reunites with him now having won twice when partnering. Has a wide draw to contend with, but he rates highly on his latest effort. ROMANTIC THOR (6) wasn't beaten far in the G1 Champions & Chater and backed up that effort in The Premier Plate at G3 level last time out. This is easier again and while he does rise in weight, this looks to suit on his recent form. Gains a start and can fire a shot. FORTUNATE SON (12) missed by 0.8L here last start and draws well again today. Can make his presence felt.
