Verdict
#1 Pejibaye had clear excuses on the all-weather last start after botching the start, losing ground, settling at the rear and never getting into the race. He is clearly better than that, and from barrier 4 he will be hard to beat if he breaks cleanly. #6 Shotgun resumes from barrier 1 and stands out despite not having strong Happy Valley form on paper. He should lead, and his return trial suggests he comes into this in good order. #12 Winning Champion is only a three-year-old who has needed time, but he has started to come to hand since switching to Happy Valley. He raced wide from an outside stall last start, and today's better gate should give him a much kinder map. #9 Phoenix Light gets a good run from barrier 3 and arrives off a fast-finishing fourth, one of his best runs for the season.
