Racing on the all-weather track for this event and won’t be playing in this one. EVER STRONG beat BORNTOACHIEVE, GENEROUS HEART and MASSIVE MILLENNIUM when they last met over this course and distance (Race 315) and of that quartet, Generous Heart is the one that makes most appeal .He was negatively ridden on that occasion and given far too much to do. During the running he somehow ran in to trouble when moving into the race from well back in the field. It was a decent effort and he might be the best each way outlay in the race. Ever Strong following his latest win won’t have things so easy from barrier 11. The subsequent rating increase will see him concede between 3kg and 7kg to those he meets again today. Borntoachieve is drawn to run well again and will be up contesting the lead. DR PROACTIVE is another that can be competitive with the claim really aiding his chances. COBY OPPA is an interesting horse as he’s having only his second start and his first on the dirt. His turf debut at Sha Tin was okay for here and he has American bloodlines that might mean he handles the surface better than most.
