Total stake: $100
Dividends: $434.50

WHY:
For the key horse, the choice was between SHAMUS STORM and MR COOL. Both horses had previously faced today’s strong-line horse KA YING SUPERB in their last start. In this race, however, MR COOL carries a more questionable weight, and there are quite a few runners whose racing styles clash with his, so SHAMUS STORM becomes the logical key horse.

KA YING SUPERB was beaten last time without ever posing a real winning threat, but looking back at its form from a few runs ago, its level is still higher than horses such as ONLY U and CIRCUIT MIGHTY (8.4x / 5th). That makes KA YING SUPERB more reliable than MR COOL as the first-choice supporting leg.

There are also two horses in this race whose true ability is still unexposed. Among them, COLOURFUL WINNER looks better suited in terms of the projected race shape, so it is used as the other supporting leg.
