Verdict

SUNNY Q (9) stormed home to win narrowly two back before going under in a photo finish over 6f here last time out. Out to 7f now is a good move as it looks to suit with the way he's hitting the line recently. Maps to sit a touch closer as well and can land the knockout blow. BRIGHT DAY (2) flew late fresh before sitting closer and getting the job done by 0.8L when out to this trip. Likely to get back from the draw, but he rates highly on the last start performance. Can storm over the top to get the job done once again. FIT FOR BEAUTY (8) gets J-Mac in the saddle now and has been back to the trials since his latest performance. Hit the line nicely in his latest heat at Conghua and he should be handy to the speed from a good gate. Can see him improving sharply. HAPPY BOSS (6) is on debut for the Eustace stable and looks to have some ability.
