Verdict

GILDED VOYAGER (1) gets the nod despite two unplaced runs this campaign, because his broader profile still reads well for this: two wins from five starts this season, a strong recent rating base and barrier 1 to help him use that fitness third-up. The 6f record is the only real query, but he is better placed than his latest seventh suggests. CONGRATULATEBANKER (9) is the obvious danger after consecutive seconds at this track, the latest a neck defeat to Strategise, and his one win and five places from seven starts show how reliable he has been. COLONEL SON (2) brings hardened 6f credentials and was only just over a length away in Class 2 two back before a plain fifth last week. MEGA FORTUNE (7) is chasing three straight after beating Typhoon by two lengths at this venue and keeps Oscar Chavez, who has won on him twice.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
1	Has been below his best in two runs back, finishing fifth behind He Man when near the top of betting before a seventh to Red Dragonfly last start, beaten three and a half lengths at long odds. The 6f record remains a query, with no placings from three attempts around this trip, but he is third-up, drawn barrier 1 and has two wins from five starts this season. His stronger overall profile keeps him right in the race. 1st Pick 1 Gilded Voyager Jockey: Y Aify Trainer: Lim Woei Chet J: Y Aify T: Lim Woei Chet	130	-	-	-	29%	5/2

9	Has become very reliable without quite breaking through, finishing second at his past two starts in CL0-2W company at this track. Last start he was beaten only a neck by Strategise after again being prominent in an open market, and his overall record of one win and five places from seven starts is excellent for this grade. With weight relief and proven 6f placing form, he is a key winning chance. 2nd Pick 9 Congratulatebanker Jockey: Joe Kamaruddin Trainer: Lim Boon Thong J: Joe Kamaruddin T: Lim Boon Thong	95	-	-	-	20%	4/1

2	Ran a sound fourth in Class 2 two starts back, beaten just over a length by Rail Trail at big odds, then was less effective last start when fifth to Jet Thirty Five and beaten four and a half lengths. He is back on a quick turnaround, but his record at this track and distance is a genuine asset, with two wins and one place from nine attempts. Proven enough to be treated as a major hope. 3rd Pick 2 Colonel Son Jockey: H S Gill Trainer: J Lim J: H S Gill T: J Lim	109	-	-	-	19%	9/2
