The David Hayes trained ELEGANT FASHION, the 2003 Hong Kong Derby winner, is my top pick. Should settle better than midfield and prove a bit too strong in the run home.

The lightly race 7YO and much travelled PAOLINI looks a good chance. Ran 3rd in this race last year and looks back in form.

LUCKY OWNERS the 2004 Hong Kong Derby winner and winner of 6 of last 8 starts also a strong chance.

The John Size trained RIVER DANCER should run out a strong 2000M and is my pick for 4th.
