Verdict
#8 Bits Superstar has been knocking on the door all term, landing four placings from six starts. Barrier 3 sets him up for an ideal run, camped just off the speed where he will be hard to hold out late. #5 Northern Fire Ball gets back to conditions that suit at Happy Valley over his preferred track and trip after his latest Sha Tin run, where he led and only weakened late to finish fourth behind Island Buddy. That form has held up well since. #7 Awesome Treasure shapes to get every chance on pace from barrier 1 at his first start for the Jamie Richards stable. #10 Zephyr is a three-year-old trending the right way after a fast-finishing eighth when tackling this track and trip for the first time. That effort suggested he is starting to come to hand.
