LIVE WIRE (9) is the horse to beat after making it two wins from his past two starts at this venue, most recently scoring by a length and a half as favourite. The rise from C4 is the test, but he drops in weight and he's progressive enough to continue working through the grades. PRESTIGE ALWAYS (6) is the immediate danger, having returned with a determined win at this venue and also scored in C4 company at Sha Tin two back. Yuen's claim comes in handy and he can get the job done again without surprising. AURIO (1) carries the big weight again but closed off well for third behind Ace Champion and has the Zac Purton factor. Draws better this time around and can play a leading role. MOTOR (2) was well beaten first-up, yet that run had genuine excuses and his prior win at Sha Tin keeps him right in the contest. Recent trial was good and a much better effort is on the cards.
