KAI TAK HANDICAP
#2 Ruby Sailing remains winless after 15 starts, but he benefits this week from a class drop into Class 5. Zac Purton takes the reins, and from a good gate, he should improve second-up after a decent effort when well-backed first-up at the bottom of Class 4. #5 Verbier has been knocking on the door for a win, and his trial between runs indicates he has maintained his condition. With Hugh Bowman aboard, his chances are strong. #1 Cosmo Navigator signalled readiness to win after a narrow third-place finish last time. #3 Winning Heart will map well from barrier 2, such as his first effort in Class 5, where he gamely finished third last start.
