#6 Telecom Dragon profiles strongly third-up after two promising placings in stronger races. He shapes as one of the better chances on the night, benefiting from a favourable barrier and the booking of James McDonald. #4 Beauty Light, overlooked in the betting on debut, finished over four lengths away in 11th but encountered traffic just as he was starting to wind up late. With Zac Purton aboard and barrier 2, he can take a positive step forward second-up. #10 Spicy So Smart, who backed up his Class 5 all-the-way win with a third in this class, is a consistent performer and worth consideration. #2 Thriving Brothers was favourite over 1200m at Sha Tin two starts back after a class drop but faded when stepped up to 1400m last time. Freshened and with blinkers applied for the first time, he should produce an improved effort back in trip.
