There are better races to play into on the card, nevertheless MOON PEAKS looks to be a touch of overs to win the opener. The horse drops into this grade for the first time and if he can find his form over this course and distance from earlier this season, then he looks well placed with the help of the apprentice’s claim. There is a decent amount of pace in the race, but with a positive ride from Chan there is a chance the horse could work into a good position from an otherwise awkward barrier of 10. SUPREME PLUS hit the line well over this trip at Happy Valley last time and with Joao Moreira booked to ride; he is one of the favoured runners to win. And he can of course, but he is still a Hong Kong maiden after 16 starts. KWAI CHUNG ELITE has hit the frame on his last two starts and maps to get a soft run – around midfield – from the draw. The test will be for the relicensed Hamelin to get the horse out of the barriers well in order to use the inside barrier. While GREAT SON has shown glimpses of potential, with his win two starts ago containing enough merit, but he probably needs a soft lead which he is unlikely to receive with MULTIMAX and HARBOUR ALERT likely to press forward early. Moon Peaks is worth a small each way outlay to open the program.
