HONG KONG (5) found the 1160m dash too sharp two back then atoned with a win as favourite over 1450m at Vaal seven-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has been racing in Open class lately. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SONIC JET (1) finished fourth two runs back at Vaal then improved last time out to score by a nose after being in the firing line on the corner over 1450m at Vaal. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BLIND AMBITION (4) finished ninth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1450m at Vaal, beaten only a nose after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MALIBU (8) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break in a 1200m contest at Vaal at her latest appearance. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
