Verdict
#2 Huge Wave has been finishing off strongly in four runs since his last win five starts ago. The small field can turn the tempo into a tactical affair, but he profiles to land in a soft spot just off the speed and unleash late. #4 Awesome Fluke has enjoyed a strong season, returning two wins from six, and he comes here off a success in a similar style of race over 1650m. The step up in distance is no knock given he is a two-time winner at the trip. #5 Soleil Fighter goes around on the six-day turnaround after being left vulnerable late at Sha Tin off a fast-run race. The switch back to Happy Valley is the key angle. #6 Sky Heart maps well from barrier 2 for a soft run. He resumes off a sound trial and gets in as a lightweight chance under Ellis Wong's 5lb claim.
