PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Ace One stayed on a pleasing second to Magniac at just his second run this term following colic surgery and can forget his latest after a torrid run. He's drawn to get the perfect run with a return to the C&D of two wins last season. Flying Ace returned off a lengthy break with a rallying C&D third to Winner Method second up last month on a yielding track after going unbeaten four times last term. He should strip fitter and must be considered. Happy Golf won nicely from midfield in back-to-back runs over the Sha Tin 1,200m before failing in a speed-chasing role on a testing wet surface in a higher grade. Don't write him off. Newcomer Helio Express won his lone Australian outing over 1,106m and has had a decent preparation. He has Zac Purton to offset a wide draw and a big run won't surprise.
