Verdict

SZERYNG (8) sat handy to the speed and bolted in over this track and trip a fortnight ago, winning by 2.8L in easier company. He rises to C3 now, but drops 10lbs for that rise in grade. Purton remains in the saddle and he maps for a perfect run once again and can repeat the dose. HAROLD WIN (4) just missed here two back before stepping out to 7f last start and finishing 2L away. Back to the sprint trip now and gets Atzeni in the saddle. Rates highly on that narrow defeat two back and a return to that form will see him hard to hold out. STAR RISE (3) has shown good talent since arriving in HK and now gets J-Mac in the saddle third-up. He can sit much closer today with a cleaner break from the gates and he can make his presence felt. PUBLIC ATTENTION (1) is a G3 winner in AUS on debut in HK. He looks to have acclimatised well judging by his recent trials and he can make a statement on debut.
