Built on a solid fresh second to win by a head at this track last start, finishing off strongly to collar Chill Buddy after settling midfield. That followed a second to Nyx Gluck when he was beaten just over a length at generous odds, so the rise in market respect was justified. Proven at this track and distance, race-fit and well placed to go close again.

Went within a nose of landing the money at this track last start after having every chance as favourite behind Aeroinvincible. He had been fifth first-up, beaten a length and a half after covering ground, so the current campaign has a solid base. The win is due if he repeats that.

Closed the gap sharply when second at this track last start, beaten a neck by Celestial Hero after settling midfield and working home evenly. The previous sixth to Aeroinvincible was plain on paper, but his broader record says this set-up suits: three wins and 12 placings from 31 at this track and distance, plus a strong association with Angus Chung. With Angus Chung back aboard, he profiles as a live winning hope.

Second-up after a disappointing return when last at this track over 1200m, beaten over 13 lengths after dropping away quickly in the straight. His earlier third to Motor showed more, but that was also at 1200m and today's 1400m is untried. Earlier form was better, but a sharp rebound is required.

Returns from a lengthy spell of over a year after finishing third in the G2 Callander-Presnell at Randwick, beaten just over three lengths at big odds. That was a better effort than his second-last in the Listed The Tapp-Craig at Rosehill, where his finish was only moderate. Still a maiden and not proven at 1400m, but has place claims.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing seventh at this track over 1600m, beaten two and a half lengths as favourite when making ground without threatening. His previous fourth to Endued had more merit, as he finished off strongly from back in the field. Last-start favourite defeat tempers confidence, but a place is within reach.

Was unwanted in betting first-up and ran accordingly, finishing tenth at this track behind Aeroinvincible after being last into the straight. Two back he was second to Chill Easy, beaten just over two lengths, which shows he can run well under these conditions.

Had excuses first-up when ninth over 1200m at this track, pushed along wide into the straight and beaten just over five lengths behind Bunta Baby. His previous sixth to Perfectday was also below market expectation, but he returns to a distance where he has won one of two. Drawn to improve into a genuine place chance.

Returns from a five-month break after a luckless sixth at this venue, beaten just under two lengths behind Baby Sakura after being checked and then switched for clear running. His run before that was flatter when ninth behind Brilliant Express, but his two wins from seven around 1400m read well enough. Track-and-distance winner who can fill a placing if forward enough.

Finished fifth first-up at this track over 1200m, beaten two lengths after being taken wider into the straight, and that run had enough merit to build from. He had won in Class 4 company two back, beating Ace Eagle by a neck after travelling well and finding late. Consistent profile and remains a strong winning chance.

Returns from an eight-month spell after finishing third in a BM64 at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten just under two lengths after leading and only being claimed late. He had won a Mdn at Kilmore the start before, beating Wonboyn by half a length. Has 1400m credentials, but this first Hong Kong test asks more.

Resumed on the All-Weather and was beaten over 17 lengths at long odds, settling back and coming under pressure a long way out. He had also been only seventh at this track two back, though that run was not without some early contact. Track-and-distance record is the only real positive.

Returns from a ten-month break after bolting in by eight and a half lengths in a Mdn at Mt Gambier, where he travelled strongly and put the race away quickly. His debut fourth at Donald was less convincing, with the effort fading after leading. Upside is there, but the 1400m record and rise in task make him risky.

Returns from a four-month break in honest form, having run second to Perfectday at this track when wide into the straight and beaten just over a length. Before that he won in Class 4 company, beating Quick Contribution by just over a length as a well-supported favourite. Solid 1400m record puts him in the place mix.
