Verdict
#2 The Heir lands in a very winnable contest and barrier 1 sets him up for the right run. Everything points to a genuine chance to add another win, and the Orman–Fownes combination, though not heavily used, is worth noting as they look to improve on their one win from seven pairings this season. #9 Viva Firecracker comes off his best effort yet, flashing home into fourth in a stronger Sha Tin Class 4 than this, and that has him primed to take another step forward today. #8 Lucky McQueen has to overcome barrier 10, but his recent form gives him a chance after finishing close-up behind horses such as Turin Champions and Cool Boy. #1 Joker Orbit drops into Class 4 after four below-par runs in Class 3. The booking of Hugh Bowman is the key change that can spark improvement.
