CROSSBORDERDUDE (1) just missed two back but landed the knockout blow most recently at this track and trip, jumping the $2.60 favourite. He sat on the speed there and was too good, with this race shaping similarly from a better draw. Purton rides again and he can go back-to-back. THUNDER PRINCE (11) finished off well from midfield last start at Happy Valley last time out, beaten 1.5L. Back onto the turf course here at SHA TIN and Bowman sticking with him is a positive sign. Form out of his last start has been good and he won't be far away. SUNNY Q (10) is a little better than he showed last start where he was 3.5L off the winner. The wide draw is a niggle, but he tends to get back in his races anyway. Can storm home over the top to get the job done. CIRCUIT CHAMPION (3) was impressive on debut as a $33 chance and has trialled nicely since. Can go one better without surprising.
