Boasting two placings from three starts this preparation is Riding High, who comes off a second placing at Happy Valley by a nose.
The five-year-old son of Exceed and Excel has yet to win at the track, but owning winning form at Sha Tin is a good form guide.

Recent form is with Bull Attitude, who won three starts back at Sha Tin before placing at Happy Valley last time out.
The four-year-old son of The Autumn Sun was only a short margin behind the winner, so it was a solid effort in defeat.

Stake: 1.5 Units
