THE FINAL WORD (3) resumes from a lay-off of 22 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Dick Leech. Finished seventh at Sha Tin over 5f at the opening run last time in work. Fitter for a eleventh in a recent trial over 6f at Sha Tin AW. Nicely placed and expected to go well. DEPENDENCY (6) has been in the money four times including when resuming last start on March 8 when third over 6f at this track. Has a solid record here with four top-three finishes to her name. Sure to prove very tough to beat. ICONIC MISSILE (1) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f at this track. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and looks suited by the extra ground. Can get home into the finish. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
