Verdict

Verdict

#2 Numbers has given his rivals a galloping lesson in his last two all-the-way wins in strong races, and that tactical edge can again be decisive. Barrier 11 doesn't read well, but there is a long run to the first turn, and it is hard to see anything pressuring him without compromising their own chance. #1 Little Paradise won the Classic Mile with authority, producing a sharp sprint once in the clear. This is a fresh test at 1800m, but he brings the class angle. #4 Invincible Ibis finished sixth in the Classic Mile, but it was better than the result suggests after a poor trip from barrier 11. Barrier 2 is a big swing in his favour. #6 Beauty Bolt has been a model of consistency across eight runs in Hong Kong, returning two wins and five placings. His tactical versatility and honesty make him hard to overlook again.
