C&D winner from 6lb lower two starts ago and excuses latest; wide draw the chief concern

HK debut; useful form in Macau in recent months but more needed to figure here
10 (9)	Turin Redsun Bay J:Jerry Chau T:P C Ng	J:Jerry Chau T:P C Ng	119	t	6-7680	94	129	-	20d	—	—	—	11	—	—

Much better known for his exploits at Happy Valley; hard to fancy from out of the weights
14 (7)	Fifer Bay J:Eric Cheung T:K M Chin	J:Eric Cheung T:K M Chin	115	—	9-8445	90	-	-	788d	—	—	—	10	—	—
