In depth
Verdict
Disabuse, Sorbiesharry, and Shatin Special are three against the field in an open handicap and the vote goes to Disabuse. The selection won well last time out when defeating Dubai Dreams and although he is rising in the weights, is taken to win again. Sorbiesharry rates the main danger after beating Futuristic in good style last time but that was over a shorter distance and he is not sure to see out this trip. Shatin Special is another that could go well as she remains on a fair mark, but this looks much tougher than the race she won last time and for that reason is passed over. Of the remainder, So Sure has been in decent form over hurdles of late and comes back to the Flat on a fair mark, but Disabuse should be up to the task today.
