Returns from a one-month let-up after a fourth in a Class 2 on the All-Weather, where he began slowly but had his chance and was beaten just under four lengths by Definitive. He had earlier led over 2000m at Sha Tin and was beaten just over two lengths at big odds. Back in grade and proven at the trip, but this track remains the query.

Arrives off a determined win at this track, beating Riding Together by a head when near the top of an open market. That was a clear turnaround from his Sha Tin seventh, where he was wide into the straight and beaten just over eight lengths. Has to back it up, but the recent win gives him genuine place claims.

Back after five weeks on the sidelines following a flat first-up run at Sha Tin, where he finished last of 14 and was unwanted in the market. His earlier G2 third at Cidade Jardim reads well on paper, but the latest effort left him with plenty to repair. Has G2 form elsewhere yet must lift sharply here.

Has been safely held in two runs this campaign, finishing tenth at this track over 1800m before dropping away on the All-Weather. The positive is his strong record at this track and distance, with three wins and two placings from nine starts, and he is now third-up.

Returns from a one-month let-up after starting favourite over 1800m at Sha Tin and finishing sixth, beaten just over four lengths after settling back and failing to quicken. His fourth over 1400m prior was more encouraging, and he has already won once from two starts at this distance. Back to 1650m, Purton rides, and his distance record makes him the one to beat.

Back after four weeks since a better sixth at Sha Tin, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds after being bumped and still making some headway. That was a clear lift on his 12th over 1200m, though he remains winless from his past four starts in the past 12 months. Still has a 1650m query, but the latest run was good enough for place claims.

Back after four weeks following a near miss at this track, beaten a nose by Audacious Pursuit after finishing off well in a race run in class-record time. That was a sharp response to his second-last at Sha Tin, where he made no impression. Gets a 3kg claim and looks a strong winning chance if he holds that form.

Back after four weeks and better placed at 1650m after fading late as favourite over 1400m at Sha Tin, beaten two and a half lengths by Celestial Hero. He had also been well-supported at this venue two back when sixth, so the market has continued to respect him.

Back after four weeks since finishing tenth at this track, beaten six and a half lengths after settling midfield and failing to finish off. His prior eighth at the same venue was at least closer, but he was still a big-odds runner and did not produce a winning threat. Has placed once at the course and trip, but recent finishing effort is a concern.

Back after five weeks off a tenth at Sha Tin, though the run had more merit than the position suggests after he was bumped and worked home evenly, beaten just over three lengths. He was also only just over three lengths away when sixth two back. New to 1650m, but last-start margin was modest and he has upside.

Ran evenly when fifth at Sha Tin last start, beaten just over two lengths by Packing Fighter at generous odds. His previous sixth had more merit after he was unable to secure clear running early in the straight and was only beaten a length and a half. Distance record is the sticking point, so he looks more fringe than main hope.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a ninth on the All-Weather, where he faded late and was beaten seven and a half lengths. His prior sixth at this venue was more competitive, beaten just under three lengths, and his track-and-distance record is strong with three wins and three placings from 17 starts. Proven at this track and trip, but recent form has to improve quickly.
