Went within a neck of Solid Win at this track last start after being switched into the clear in the straight, and that followed a fourth here when beaten just over a length as favourite. He carries the top weight and has not won in five tries around 1800m, but his track record is sound and Alex Badel has a strong association with him. Top weight is the query, but his track form keeps him prominent.

Had little room late when fourth to China Win at this track last start, beaten a length and a half, so there was more merit in the run than the bare result. The start prior he was second to Fortunate Son at big odds and he has built a consistent record at this venue. With the claim, he gets another chance to press the main hopes.

Scored by a neck over Seraph Gabriel at this track last start as favourite, travelling well before responding strongly late. His previous fourth to Fortunate Son had merit after working forward and he has now built an excellent 1800m profile. That combination gives him a clear winning case.

Finished ninth to Packing Fighter at Sha Tin last start, beaten just over five lengths after fading late, and the market again treated him as an outsider. His prior fourth was also well held, beaten just under six lengths by the same winner. Must lift sharply.

Led when seventh to Pocketing over 2000m at Sha Tin last start, beaten three lengths, and that came after another seventh when fading late behind Big Return. The 1.5kg claim is helpful and his overall record includes four wins from 14 starts, but he is yet to win at this distance and is trying this venue for the first time. The claim helps, but he has to show more at this venue.

Was beaten four and a half lengths when ninth to China Win at this track last start, having already finished tenth at Sha Tin when well held by Packing Fighter. Improvement is required.

Improved sharply when third to China Win at this track last start, beaten just over a length after settling rearward and working home evenly. That was a much better effort than his 12th to Packing Fighter at Sha Tin, where he was big odds and never threatened. A repeat puts him in the minor-money mix.

Was safely held when eighth to Do Your Part at this track last week, beaten just under six lengths, so the quick return asks for a rebound. His nose second to Audacious Pursuit the start prior was a far stronger piece of form, especially at big odds. First go at 1800m is the key test.

Finished 11th to Packing Fighter at Sha Tin last start, beaten six and a half lengths after fading late, and he had been 12th to Aerovolanic the run before. The market has shown little interest in him this campaign and he is unplaced from three seasonal runs. Hard to make a case on recent figures.

Back after five weeks since finishing fifth to Audacious Pursuit at this track, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds. That was an improvement on his seventh to Fortunate Son, though he still made ground without threatening there. Place claims if he builds on the last-start fifth.

Won a Class 4 at this track last start, beating Prestige Ricky by a neck after travelling smoothly and responding well when asked. He had been second to Akermanis Gold the run before after racing without cover, so the form is building strongly. First 1800m run is a query, but he looks the one to beat.

Made some late ground when sixth to Packing Fighter at Sha Tin last start, beaten four lengths at big odds, after a fifth to Big Return where he only held ground late. Barrier one gives him a chance to conserve energy, and he has won once around 1800m.
