NORTHERN ALLIANCE (8) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Big chance once again. RED DRAGON (5) progressed nicely last start when he did his best work late to finish a close third over 1800m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Worth noting C C Wong goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MEGA SUCCESS (4) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Jackson Low stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Sure to be competitive. COMBUSTION (6) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so he can feature again.
