Verdict
#5 Mighty Masts is third-up in Hong Kong and brings two very strong runs into this. He was second to Infinite Resolve on debut after being held up for most of the straight, then flashed late into sixth behind Emblazon after drawing widest and being ridden cold. A very good trial between runs suggests he is ready to win. #3 Lucky Sam Gor is thriving this season, four wins from seven, and he goes for a hat-trick after passing his first mile test with flying colours. #10 Endued has been up against it from wide draws in his last two since returning to Class 3, after winning three runs ago from barrier 1. Barrier 10 is better today. #1 Glittering Legend did enough on debut, only beaten three lengths into tenth, and a good trial since points to improvement second-up.
