NAUTICAL FORCE (5) was very impressive in his HK debut, running over the top to win by 0.5L. He was competitive out to this trip in the UK before coming here and the way he closed off last start suggests it won't be an issue. Looks a nice horse on the rise and looks the one to beat. GENTLEMEN LEGACY (3) comes through the same race where he too closed off well under Bowman to be 1.8L off the winner. He gets a weight swing in his favour and draws to hold a much closer position this time. There's plenty to like about him. JOY OF SPRING (4) is building nicely this season and steps out to this trip for the first time. He's been closing well in recent events and the step up in distance doesn't appear an issue. Can put his best foot forward. WINNING WING (2) should appreciate getting back out in distance today and was strong in the G1 Hong Kong Gold Cup two starts back. Ticks plenty of boxes.
