PACKING HERMOD (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance in the G2 Premier Bowl at this track over 1200m on October 26. He flies fresh up and has found the right race to kick off this season on a winning note. PATCH OF THETA (2) drifted back over 1600m here last time before winding up late to finish seventh. He is down in class and can figure in the top 3 here. LIGHT YEARS CHARM (4) scored over this journey two back then failed at the longer trip last time when eighth in the G2 Jockey Club Mile at this track last time out. He is better placed in this and can have the last say. Watch for him late. AERIS NOVA (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as the public elect over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck after starting from a wide draw. He looks well placed again, so expect another big run. SKY TRUST (10) is nicely placed down in the weights, and is suited by the step up in trip. Each way.
