Verdict

TITANIUM SHADOW (5) gets the nod on the strength of solid Australian form before the break, including a Morphettville second and a Murray Bdge fifth beaten only a length in BM76 company. He has placed twice from three tries around 7f and brings enough substance to resume as the horse to beat. BANKER'S EMPIRE (10) is the danger after winning a Class 3 at this track as a well-supported favourite, with his Perak second two runs back giving that form a sound base. FORTUNE TREE (1) is in superb winning touch, coming off an Open win at this venue after a five-length success prior, though the top weight makes the task a little sterner. TRIDENT RISING (8) has won both runs this campaign in Class 3 company and is proven around 7f, so his current confidence gives him a genuine chance to press the established pair.

5	Returns from a five-month break after a solid second at Morphettville, where he travelled well to the turn, covered ground and was beaten just over three lengths as favourite. His previous fifth at Murray Bdge was better than the placing reads, finishing off strongly to be beaten a length. Proven enough around 7f and brings the right form profile to resume as the horse to beat. 1st Pick 5 Titanium Shadow Jockey: Y Aify Trainer: Lim Woei Chet J: Y Aify T: Lim Woei Chet	98	-	-	-	17%

10	Arrives off a well-backed Class 3 win at this track, beating Flying Nemo by just over a length, and the narrow Perak second to Perfect Serdang beforehand gave his form a solid platform. He has won at this track and distance and gets in with 119lbs plus a 7lbs apprentice claim. The barrier is awkward, but his recent progression makes him a strong winning threat. 2nd Pick 10 Banker's Empire Jockey: G Farhan Trainer: Lim Boon Thong J: G Farhan T: Lim Boon Thong	82	-	-	-	5%

1	Has put together two strong wins at this venue, most recently taking an Open over 1m by just under a length from Banker's Honor after sitting near the top of betting. The five-length win over Big Union the start prior was equally authoritative. Carries the top weight, but his track record and strong partnership with Rizuan Shafiq make him a major winning chance again. 3rd Pick 1 Fortune Tree Jockey: Rizuan Shafiq Trainer: Hy Cheng J: Rizuan Shafiq T: Hy Cheng	154	-	-	-	50%
