Verdict

FORTUNE RISING (4) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a head away in second over 6f at Perak after being in the firing line all the way. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MEGA ACE (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a neck at this track. Has eight wins here. Change of jockey to Ronald Woodworth who has a strong record when aboard, including six wins. Expecting a bold showing. BANKER'S FIRST (1) clocked-in third behind Fortune Tree last time out in Group 1 grade at this track over 1m. Has never missed the frame at this course, including three wins and three placings. Capable of running a big race. NAVARRE (11) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
