#1 Crossborderpegasus can be his own worst enemy with his racing manners, but his three runs back have been much better and he is knocking on the door. He needs the race shape to fall his way, and this looks a set-up where he can be hard to hold out. #3 Gold Patch had to work early from a wide barrier to find the lead last start and was on tired legs late, but he still held third. It was a solid effort from a three-year-old with more to come. #10 Causeway King has trialled well since his second run in the city, and barrier 4 under Nichola Yuen’s 10-pound claim gives him the chance to improve on that last-start seventh. #9 Tang Heart has been trialling well ahead of his Hong Kong debut and goes in the numbers on that basis.
