RACE 1 (1,400M)
7 Kelmimi Wins ran a close-up second to Red Brick Fighter last start. He gets jockey Joao Moreira and a favourable draw. 10 Bravery And Power is in Class 5 now, which is a big drop from when he arrived to Hong Kong in Class 3. It won't shock to see him perform. 3 Speedy Dragon won twice last season, the first time off a mark of 42. He is now on 39 in what could be his final run this season. Reigning champion Zac Purton is aboard. 6 Adonis is consistent. He is a winner of this mark previously. He'll be thereabouts.
RACE 2 (1,200M)
9 Precious Sweetie just couldn't get the right run last start. He has won off this mark before and is a two-time winner over this distance. 2 Monkey Jewellery has been an honest customer, including his narrow short-head defeat last start. 5 Mighty Valor demolished his opponents two starts ago, before struggling from the wide gate last time out for third. He's a talent and gets Purton. 10 Regency Poet has shown steady improvement across his nine outings this term, narrowly missing on a number of occasions.
RACE 3 (1,400M)
4 Mighty Power ran well two starts ago, but appeared to lose his way a touch. He's drawn a good gate and it would not surprise to see him be competitive. 3 Circuit Hassler is looking to snap a streak of two runner-up efforts. As long as he can overcome the awkward gate, he's a top hope. 1 Good Shot struggled on the dirt last start. He should relish the return to the turf. Purton takes over. 6 Smart Wongchoy was narrowly beaten by a neck over this course and distance last time out. Expect another honest run from him.
RACE 4 (1,600M)
8 General's Delight ran a blinder last start in the Group 3 Lion Rock Trophy. If he replicates that performance, he's going to prove hard to beat with only 118lb (53.6kg) on his back. He has drawn a good gate. 2 Fast Most Furious comes out of the same race, in which he finished a close-up third. He is carrying 12lb more but has the class factor. 3 Helene Leadingstar tallied back-to-back wins earlier this campaign. He can figure with the right run. 7 Savvy Nine is still winless in Hong Kong. He'll need to improve sharply if he is to win this contest.
RACE 5 (1,800M)
13 Circuit Number One closed impressively for second last start. The penny might be finally about to drop with him. 9 Cheerful Star has been consistent. He is a course-and-distance winner this term. Moreira hops on now and has a chance with even luck. 11 McMunigal is a two-time course-and-distance winner this term. He can play catch me if you can. 3 Jimmu ran a blinder two starts ago, missing by just under a length over this course and distance.
RACE 6 (1,200M)
3 Sky Field is a serious talent on the rise. With the right run, he can blow this field away. He possesses a devastating turn of foot. 2 Golden Link is looking to snap two runner-up efforts. He's another talent on the up. He has a good draw and Purton. 4 War Lord's a funny horse. After scoring impressively on debut, he has since appeared to struggle. He appears sound and deserves another chance. 14 The Abraxas slots in lightly with only 116lb on his back. He's twice missed by a short head over 1,200m this season.
RACE 7 (1,400M)
8 Sumstreetsumwhere grabbed third last start at his first run for trainer David Hall. With that performance, he is capable of improvement with an extra 200m. 10 Destin closed for third last start. He's returned to a winning mark. With the right run, it would not surprise to see him get the job done, especially with only 118lb allotted. 2 Armor Star won well two starts ago, before fading to sixth at his latest effort. He deserves forgiveness, especially from Gate 1. 12 Super Red Dragon missed by a short head last start. He has the runs on the board now and a win isn't too far away.
RACE 8 (1,600M)
13 Emerald Spur can be a tricky horse at times. But, on his day, this campaign's two-time winner is very good. He slots in with a light weight on his back. 14 Decisive Action is another who gets in with a light load. He won easily over this course and distance three starts ago. 7 Entrusted improved sharply last start over 1,400m. He steps out to 1,600m. The inside gate suits. 8 Super Elegance has been a conundrum but he does have the ability.
RACE 9 (1,400M)
11 Young Legend has been largely underestimated. He missed by narrow margins at an unfancied price in his last two starts. He's well weighted in this contest. 10 Amazing Chocolate has gone to a new level for trainer Tony Millard. He's down in the weights and is a leading player. 5 Water Diviner snagged an impressive win last time out for Jack Wong. The pair should get every opportunity from the inside gate. 6 Beauty Applause can continue his climb up the ratings.
RACE 10 (1,400M)
13 Ultimate Glory has been solid all season. He again rates as a leading hope in this contest with the inside gate and light weight. 9 Flying Victory is a talent, although he has had his issues. He sets off from Gate 3, which suits. he also gets Purton. 4 Flying Sword is looking for back-to-back wins. He remains in Class 3. 1 Lobo's Legend mixed his form. But, on his day, he has the ability.
RACE 11 (1,200M)
7 President's Choice can capitalise on the fast pace and finish at the top of the field. He's already a two-time winner . 2 Good Luck Friend is a serious talent with three wins already. He does appear to still have a number of ratings points in hand. 9 Winning Brew demolished his rivals last time out. He's another who can continue his ascend in the ratings. 1 Quadruple Double is honest. He's next best as the likely pacesetter of the race.
