Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently ran last of 14 at this track on December 20 over 1000m, 10 len behind Turquoise Velocity with 61kg at $5.20. The start before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Happy Valley on November 19 over 1200m, 5 len behind Romantic Son carrying 55kg at $10. Finished 14th last start over 1000m at this track when he had to contend with an awkward barrier.

Gelding by Exosphere on debut. Trialled on December 30 at Conghua over 1000m and finished seventh. Capable of a solid performance.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Starspangledbanner out of Dolly Fabulous. Any market support will add to the confidence.

At debut, 4th of 13 at this track on January 4 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Sight Hermoso carrying 56.5kg at $24. Will take a lot from that hitout and is a key runner.

First starter by Super Seth out of Italian Queen purchased for AUD $ 80,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). Tough assignment.

Gelding by No Nay Never facing the starter for the first time. Finished eighth in a Conghua trial over 1200m on December 15. Tough assignment.

Was at very long odds at debut, 5th of 14 at this track on January 25 over 1000m, 4 len behind Gold Patch carrying 57.5kg at $65. Did enough on debut and should measure up.

Four-year-old gelding making debut by Shamus Award out of Under The Sea. Coming along well at the trials with a minor placing at his most recent.

Gelding by Earthlight facing the starter for the first time. Trialled on January 20 at Sha Tin over 1000m and finished eighth. At his most recent trial was unplaced.

Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Most recently did the work up front then tired 9th of 12 at Happy Valley on December 3 over 1200m, 4 len behind Genius Baby carrying 56kg at $2.30. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 12 at Happy Valley on November 12 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Team Team Folks with 55kg at $9. Certainly worth another chance.

Gelding by Hellbent on debut. Finished sixth in a Happy Valley trial over 1200m on January 10. Worth consideration.

Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at this track on January 4 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Sight Hermoso carrying 55.5kg at $17. Before that 11th of 14 at this track on December 7 over 1400m, 10 len behind With A Smile with 56.5kg at $19. Will be hard to beat.

Most recently 5th of 13 at this track on January 4 over 1000m, 3 len behind Sight Hermoso with 55kg at $39. The race before that 3rd of 14 at this track on December 20 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Turquoise Velocity carrying 55kg at $101. Impossible to entertain on recent form.

Last start 5th of 12 at this track on January 11 over 1200m, 3 len behind Elite Golf carrying 54.5kg at $81. Before that eased back early on 8th of 12 at Sha Tin All Weather on January 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Bright Mortar with 55.5kg at $98. Others preferred.
