Apex can stay on Top

7 Turf Brilliant is worth taking a chance on with an inside gate and the in-form Karis Teetan aboard. 5 Shinealot's last pairing with champion jockey Zac Purton saw him narrowly miss by a neck. 9 Keep Winning is a two-time course-and-distance winner. 13 Money Marshal is the likely leader of this, which will give him every possible chance.

10 Wood On Fire has drawn to get the right run. His race-experience holds him in good stead. 4 All Joyful caught the eye at trials. He's worth taking the chance. 2 Bright Kid won two starts ago before narrowly missing at his latest run for his new trainer Chris So. 12 Diamond Pegasus is next best, although he has drawn a wide gate.

10 Super Kin might be ready to claim a win here, following two competitive runs this term. 7 Angel Of My Eyes, with some luck and with Purton taking the reins, has a fighting chance. 12 Hero Star narrowly missed at the last start. With improvement, he can score. 3 Mighty Valor's wide gate makes his assignment tricky but he was a dominant winner last time out.

7 Take What You Need has been nothing short of consistent across his short 10-start career. 3 Total Excess appears to have plenty of upside as a lightly raced galloper in Hong Kong. 1 Styling City steps down to Class 3. At his best, he is more than capable of winning this race. 12 Tom's Style is lightly raced. He's worth keeping safe.

1 Jade Fortune narrowly missed over this course and trip two starts. He has the ability win this contest. 4 Righteous Mate gets the services of Joao Moreira. He loves the dirt and can finish around the mark. 8 Megatron should roll forward with ease from the good gate and Alfred Chan's 7lb (3.2kg) claim. 10 Breeze Of Spring is next best.

5 Apex Top closed off nicely last start for fifth over 1,200m. The step-up to 1,400m suits. 4 Circuit Hassler rattled home for a narrow second last start. He's been a consistent customer. 2 Armor Star won well last start, following a tough run-up on the pace. He remains in Class 4 which suits. 3 Heza Beauty has done well across his short career. He's open to further improvement.

3 Happy Sebring can showcase his best with a clean run in the straight. 6 Vincy is unlucky not to already be a winner in Hong Kong. Chance. 1 Charity Go ran well last start. He can put his best foot forward here. 2 Beauty Happy is looking for his third consecutive win. He'll be in front for a long way.

8 Touch Of Luck is a very straightforward customer. From Gate 2, he can get the dream run throughout. 13 London Luckystar is unlucky not to already be a winner. He narrowly missed three starts ago. 1 Kyrus Unicorn closed off strongly last start to finish a smack-up seventh. A classy Irish import. 4 Namjong Plus has steadily improved all season. Bears watching.

8 Private Rocket is as consistent as they come. From the inside gate, he has an excellent chance. 6 Craig's Star ran a blinder last time out to finish second. He could bag a third career win. 9 Kasi Farasi warrants plenty of respect for the trainer Dennis Yip-Purton combination. 13 Great Treasure is unlikely to give his rivals a head start. He can rattle into the placings.

11 Dan Control gets in light with 121lb and an inside gate. Top hope. 1 Buddies has performed admirably this season with two wins and five minor placings. 3 Happy Fun is racing honestly. He should be around the mark again. 2 Mongolian King falls under the same category but will be giving his rivals a head start.
