Verdict

BEAUTY THUNDER (3) has just missed his past couple, beaten 0.5L at this track and trip most recently for Purton. Drawn slightly better this time around which should help and he does have plenty of early speed. Rates highly on his past couple of efforts and can go one better this time. PARENTS' LOVE (1) drops back in grade today after finishing 3.3L defeat most recently at Sha Tin. The form out of that race has been super however and he's since bolted in at the trials. Can find the front from his draw and he'll take plenty of catching. SAVVY TWINKLE (12) won well two back before a 2L defeat over this course and distance most recently. He's since trialled well at Conghua and the inside draw should see him get every chance. Can make his presence felt. HEROIC MASTER (10) can sit much closer this time around from a much better draw and he can play a leading role.
