Verdict

COPARTNER FLEET (9) is looking for back-to-back wins and looks a nice horse on the rise. He was too strong from the front as the odds-on pop last start and drops 12lbs with the rise in grade. Has the speed to roll across from out wide under Poon and if he can continue on his current trajectory, he can win again. CHILL BUDDY (5) has trialled impressively since winning at Mornington on debut. He bolted in at the latest trial at Conghua and Ellis Wong hops in the saddle for his HK debut. He looks to have adapted to HK life well and he looks ready to make an immediate impact. DRAGON FOUR SEAS (1) is hard to knock on recent form, winning four of his last 5, including last start by 0.8L. Purton remains in the saddle today and he has the speed to roll forward. Can play a leading role. YOUNG ARROW (6) racing in good order and remains down in the weights. Draws nicely and won't be far away.
