Verdict

HONESTY (3) gets top billing after finishing third to Rail Trail at this track last start, beaten just under a length as favourite. He has a win from three attempts at this track and distance and the H S Gill partnership reads well, so the latest run looks the right platform for another strong performance. POPEYETHESAILORMAN (4) is the immediate danger, having placed last start after a sound fourth in Class 1 company, and his overall record at this venue keeps him firmly in the winning mix. BANKER'S BABY (9) brings reliable 5 ½f form, a good record at this track and distance and a 7lbs claim, making her a genuine threat despite being beaten six and a half lengths at Perak last time. RAIL TRAIL (6) has the last-start win, beat Honesty in doing so and has won two from two with C C Wong, so he has to be respected again.

3	Went close behind Rail Trail at this track last start, finishing third and beaten just under a length as favourite. His start prior was plain on paper, but he has since shown he is back around the mark and owns a win from three runs at this track and distance. With H S Gill having won twice on him, he brings the most persuasive winning profile. 1st Pick 3 Honesty Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Charles Leck Tin Hong J: Non Runner T: Charles Leck Tin Hong	138	-	-	-	25%	3/1

4	Returns from a four-week freshening after finishing third behind Pacific Energy at this track, beaten just over four lengths as a well-supported favourite. That followed a sound fourth in Class 1 company behind Mega Ace, so his recent form has substance. Barrier 1 is useful and his track record is strong enough to make him a serious threat. 2nd Pick 4 Popeyethesailorman Jockey: Jackson Low Trainer: Richard Lines J: Jackson Low T: Richard Lines	75	-	-	-	19%	9/2

9	Comes through a Perak placing, finishing third behind Banker'Ssweetheart in CCL23 grade when beaten six and a half lengths and near the top of betting. Her previous fifth at this track was similar on margin, but her wider profile is very solid: two wins and one place from five at this track and distance and a strong record with G Farhan aboard. Rates as a genuine winning chance. 3rd Pick 9 Banker's Baby Jockey: G Farhan Trainer: Lim Boon Thong J: G Farhan T: Lim Boon Thong	91	-	-	-	17%	5/1
