PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Flying Noble has filled the frame in both C&D runs this term, including a close third to Vital Spring latest after hitting the front 150m out, and since had a positive trial in Conghua. Gate's a hurdle but local lad Keith Yeung Ming-lun is riding at the top of his game and must have claims. Big Bully is a winner waiting to happen with placings in four of his past five starts, including a neck second in that same Vital Spring race following a midfield run. He's the main danger. Blooming Spirit needs to lift on his overall form but was making some headway late when resuming over the 1,200m and should find the combination of a downgrade and extra 200m to his liking here with Joao Moreira steering. Red Brick Fighter does finally draw a gate after misfiring in his first two Class Fives from gate 11 and 12 and is stable is on fire. He is a place chance.
