1
The Heir
Very consistent 6yo; aided by recent 2lb drop and favourable draw today; likely contender
2 6 G AVG C Fownes 135 59 N/A
2
Bright Day (AUS)
Weighted to reverse last month's C&D running with Find My Love; has the inside draw
7 5 G Poor K L Man 134 58 N/A
3
Healthy Healthy (NZ)
Losing run up to 21; didn't show enough on his return to make him a compelling candidate
8 6 G AVG P C Ng 132 56 N/A
4
Meowth (AUS)
In the frame five consecutive times over C&D but wide draw no help today
5 4 G AVG W K Mo 132 56 N/A
5
Vigor Eye
Narrow C&D winner last month, his sixth start; probably still has more to offer
1 4 G AVG David A Hayes 132 56 N/A
6
Spirited Steed
Never better than midfield on his debut at Sha Tin 18 days ago; improvement needed
10 3 G Poor K W Lui 128 52 N/A
7
Nebraskan (AUS)
Made all over C&D three weeks ago, but a 6lb rise sends him back up into Class 4 company
4 5 G Poor J Size 126 50 N/A
8
The Perfect Match (NZ)
Back off his sole winning mark and twice placed off 5lb higher over C&D in the autumn
11 5 G Poor C S Shum 125 49 N/A
9
Phoenix Light (AUS)
Often poorly drawn or found bother in running but there were no excuses here 21 days ago
12 7 G Poor C H Yip 123 47 N/A
10
Glorious Ryder (NZ)
Sole success when dead-heating over C&D in March, but that was at Class 5 level
9 4 G Poor David Eustace 120 44 N/A
11
Winning Now
0-7 but nearly made all over C&D two weeks ago and has a favorable draw today
3 4 G Poor F C Lor 119 43 N/A
12
Heroic Master (AUS)
Reserve; all his form in Hong Kong has been at sprint trips; stamina concerns
6 6 G Poor Y S Tsui 116 40 N/A
13
Bits Superstar (AUS)
Return to 5f poses a question, but he does possess early speed and has the inside stall
13 4 G Poor

D J Hall 125 49 N/A

Happy United (NZ)
Three wins over 5f/6f here, but losing run up to 25; another placing may be his best hope
