GOLDEN FRIENDSHIP (1) gets the nod despite a plain fresh run, with the drop from C4 and Purton going on both important positives. He's been back to the trials since his fresh run and he maps to get every chance. Can improve with the drop in grade. FALCON HUNTER (4) brings the sharper last-start figure after running second to Cirrus Speed at Sha Tin, beaten a length, and the apprentice claim gives him another practical edge while he remains lightly raced enough to improve. AUTUMN VIBES (3) is the reliable danger, having placed at both runs this campaign and built a strong record for the minors at this track and distance, though the win column remains the reservation. CASA PRIMO (2) has been unplaced in all seven starts, but his two C4 runs this campaign were not hopeless and the class drop gives him a genuine chance to produce a much better result.
