Going with SIGHT HERMOSO (9) in the last who has gone back-to-back at this track and trip. He didn't trial all that well recently, but he does tend to do that on the All Weather surface. He drops 7.5kg for the rise in grade, Teetan rides form a good draw and he can bring up the hat-trick in a winnable race. RISING FORCE (7) bolted in two back before a narrow defeat last start at Sha Tin when beaten as the race favourite. He has good early speed and should be able to offset the tricky barrier. Will give a bold sight with no weight on his back. STORM RIDER (2) comes back to his preferred track and trip today and Purton has won 3/5 when riding him. Back in grade helps and he makes plenty of appeal under this scenario. REGAL GEM (6) has trialled well since tackling the HK Derby and comes back to a track and trip where he's won 3/7. Creates plenty of interest coming back to this race.
