JOY OF SPRING (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1800m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHARPEN BRIGHT (5) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Sha Tin. Expect him to play a major role. CHAIN OF GOLD (11) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 32 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Worth noting Karis Teetan goes aboard. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. CASA ROCHESTER (7) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1650m at this track. Well placed to make amends.
