Verdict

It's Mike De Kock this time with SHEA SHEA, a regular Grade 1 winner in South Africa who badly needed his opening run here in January and showed the benefit with an impressive victory over Sole Power on Super Saturday when several of these were behind. It's difficult to see any of them reversing the form, though Spirit Quartz ran well for a long way and will have come on for the outing. Hong Kong has a brilliant record with sprinters and Eagle Regiment and Joy And Fun are very closely matched on the balance of their form. The latter won this when it was over an extra furlong in 2010 and finished a close third a year ago. Wesley Ward is very well known for handling top sprinters, though Great Attack's overall form looks just short of this level and he was behind Varsity at Gulfstream last month. Dux Scholar has more to offer and Mr Big could reward each-way backers as he is a very smart sprinter in Singapore and his form at Grade 1 level puts him firmly in the picture.
