AEROVELOCITY HANDICAP
#14 Meowth pulled off a long-odds win on debut two starts ago, and he backed it up with a narrow second-place finish to Swift Ascend, which is a solid formline here. He’s been kept ticking over with a standard barrier trial between runs and can go one place better. #6 Majestic Express didn’t have much luck from a wide draw last time, but his fourth-place finish was full of merit, making up four and a half lengths on the lead speed inside the 400m, ultimately finishing just 0.75 lengths behind the winner. #8 Halo Of Success has drawn barrier 11 in both of his local starts, but he moves into barrier 2 here, which can improve his luck in the run and ensure a more favourable trip. His last-start fifth, beaten by just one length, suggests he’s heading in the right direction. #3 Invincible Shield is a promising newcomer for the Francis Lui stable. The former Australian galloper arrives on the back of four straight wins and has impressed in his local trials, suggesting he’s primed for a strong debut.
