PODIUM (10) went back-to-back last start when winning narrowly at the top of Class 5. This is tougher, but he comes in looking for the hat-trick and he drops 6kg today. Looks to get plenty in his favour and he looks well placed to bring up the hat-trick. FLASHING FIGHTER (1) got the job done on debut at Sha Tin before failing as favourite last start on a wet track last time out. He did pull up with an issue there too and has since trialled well leading into this. Bowman's booking is a good push for his chances, replacing the apprentice hoop, and he can bounce back in a big way. BROWNNEEDSFURTHER (7) flew home to just miss over this course and distance last time out and now gets Purton in the saddle from a better barrier. Ticks a few boxes this time around and can go one better. GEORGIAN SIGMA (5) is racing well early in his career and is inching towards a maiden win, jumping favourite here last time out. Leading chance.
