Verdict
#1 Kasa Papa is a one-time winner from 43 starts, but he gets the chance to make it two under near-identical conditions to his last win in January last year. He drops back into Class 5, Purton returns to the saddle after partnering that sole success, and barrier 4 sets him up for an ideal run. #7 Super Sicario returns off a handy trial where he led and stuck on well. Similar tactics look likely again under Bowman, who partnered the four-year-old to a first-up win this season when using the same approach. #3 Conspiracy Witness gets a major gate swing from barrier 12 into barrier 2, which should have him much closer in the run, and the booking of McMonagle adds to the appeal. #4 Hailtothevictors is also well drawn in barrier 3 and can improve on his last-start fourth after racing wide over this trip at Sha Tin.
