CLOUD NINE (5) is the one to beat after going under by a nose at this track first-up as the odds-on favourite, having quickened to lead and only been caught late. He is still chasing his first win, but three placings from four tries at this track and distance give him the right platform to break through. BITS SUPERSTAR (6) brings the winning form after beating Legend Star by two lengths at this venue and is proven at the course and trip, so he is the main danger. GAMEPLAYER ELITE (4) resumes off a strong last campaign built around a win and a second at this track, with his track-and-distance record keeping him right in the contest. SPEEDY SMARTIE (1) drops out of Class 3 after a distant second on the Sha Tin All Weather and has deep 1200m experience, though he has to transfer that recent form back to turf.
