EVER SMART (7) is a 11-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being in contention on the corner at his latest appearance over 1200m at Sha Tin All Weather. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CRYSTAL POWERFUL (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into ninth. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. ACE TALENT (9) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Can make his presence felt. MODEST GENTLEMAN (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Sha Tin All Weather, beaten 1.75 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope.
