Verdict

ETALON OR (5) bumped into one last start when jumping the $2.10 favourite and never really looking a threat to the winner. He was a clear second however and he's been kept up to the mark with a recent trial. Ticks a few boxes and if he can run up to his latest performance, he can go one better. HAPPY UNIVERSE (11) was solid here last start when sitting close to the speed throughout the race. He kept on strongly in the straight, only being caught late in the race to just miss out on the placings. He drops 3lbs today however and his recent figures hold him in good stead. STAR BROSE (10) improved last start when out to this track and trip, stealing third from Happy Universe at the post. Purton remains in the saddle from an inside barrier and it wouldn't surprise to see him settle a touch closer this time. Commands respect. CALIFORNIA MOXIE (7) doesn't boast the best record here, though his recent form at Happy Valley has been great. Can bring that across to Sha Tin.
