R13 (13)	Sparkling Knight Bay J:TBC T:C H Yip	J: T:C H Yip	130	—	700104	56	77	-	2d	—	—	—	6.5	—	—
Not the most consistent but plenty of early pace and serious claims if he ends up starting
R14 (14)	Regent Glory Bay J:TBC T:David A Hayes	J: T:David A Hayes	120	—	010205	46	74	-	15d	—	—	—	4.5	—	—
Twice C&D placed but sole win came in 7f event; hard to predict but not hard to pass over
1 (9)	Trader Bay J:Ellis Wong(10) T:P C Ng	J:Ellis Wong(10) T:P C Ng	133	tb	70-700	59	78	-	117d	—	—	—	2.3	—	—
C&D winner back in Class 4 for first time since last win; well weighted but out of form
2 (10)	Happy Fat Cat Bay J:Angus Chung(7) T:L Ho	J:Angus Chung(7) T:L Ho	132	e/s	-17100	58	73	-	15d	—	—	—	9	—	—
Dual C&D winner 6lb higher than he last won from; heavy defeats on last two starts a worry
3 (1)	Island Golden Bay J:Brenton Avdulla T:K L Man	J:Brenton Avdulla T:K L Man	129	t	0-8009	55	76	-	57d	—	—	—	1.3	—	—
Six heavy defeats since easily winning a modest C&D event on debut in October
4 (3)	Ladys Choice Bay J:Zac Purton T:C W Chang	J:Zac Purton T:C W Chang	127	hb	003251	53	75	-	23d	—	—	—	14.2	—	—
Confirmed previous promise by breaking duck over C&D under Zac Purton; leading contender
5 (2)	Po On Way Bay J:M L Yeung T:Jimmy Ting	J:M L Yeung T:Jimmy Ting	127	hp	30	53	75	-	51d	—	—	—	2.9	—	—
Good debut third and better than second start; added headgear may help him progress again
6 (11)	Panda Legend Bay J:Harry Bentley T:A T Millard	J:Harry Bentley T:A T Millard	126	—	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Sprint-bred and progressing in his trials but may need this experience to bring him on
7 (5)	Speedy Fortune Chestnut J:Hugh Bowman T:J Size	J:Hugh Bowman T:J Size	125	—	722016	51	77	-	15d	—	—	—	9.8	—	—
Steadily built fair sprinter profile, including C&D win but 9lb rise stopped him last time
8 (4)	Little Fairy Bay J:Karis Teetan T:P F Yiu	J:Karis Teetan T:P F Yiu	124	b	89	50	70	-	40d	—	—	—	0	—	—
First-time blinkers may help after two Happy Valley defeats; showed some promise on debut
9 (7)	Marvel Dragon Bay J:L Hewitson T:T P Yung	J:L Hewitson T:T P Yung	124	t	2-7204	50	79	-	23d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Fair fourth to Lady's Choice last time but more than three years since he won; place hopes
10 (8)	Always Fluke Bay J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	123	h	678	49	76	-	26d	—	—	—	0	—	—
First-time hood applied after twice failing to build on debut promise at Happy Valley
11 (6)	Go Go Go Bay J:L J Ferraris T:W Y So	J:L J Ferraris T:W Y So	121	ht	0006	47	71	-	15d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Noted staying on without reaching leaders when showing promise last time; one to consider
12 (12)	Mr Fun Bay J:Michael Dee T:C S Shum	J:Michael Dee T:C S Shum	121	ht	33-000	47	78	-	33d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Placed twice at Happy Valley but three hefty defeats since; much to prove on track debut
