SEA SAPPHIRE (12) was rather plain fresh but showed what he's capable of last start when sitting on the pace throughout and just missing over this course and distance. This shapes similarly to his last start and he can go on with the job now. GALLANT DESIGN (4) is on debut for the Richards stable with Brenton Avdulla in the saddle. He's been riding since this gelding arrived in Hong Kong, winning his last trial at Happy Valley. Has options from the barrier and he strikes a very winnable race on debut. WINNING CHAMPION (9) disappointed last start out to 1400m after jumping the odds on favourite last start. He's since trialled well and he comes back to 1200m now. Can bounce back to his best form. BETTER AND BETTER (11) comes back in trip today and can be in the finish on his best form.
