0-8 but far from disgraced in defeat; further progress entirely possible.
1 (11)	Charizard Bay J:K C Leung T:A T Millard	J:K C Leung T:A T Millard	135	tb	245105	40	-	-	3d	—	—	—	5	—	—
Ended a losing run in May; posted a creditable effort three days ago; can play a role
2 (5)	Brilliant Pioneer Bay J:Zac Purton T:C H Yip	J:Zac Purton T:C H Yip	134	ht	760005	39	-	-	35d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Showed improvement when fifth in a Class 4 event last month; likely contender
3 (1)	Surrealism Bay J:Antoine Hamelin T:Richard Gibson	J:Antoine Hamelin T:Richard Gibson	134	b	895607	39	-	-	25d	—	—	—	0	—	—
1-49 but he lurks on a very dangerous mark; warrants respect in this grade
4 (3)	Superb Daddy Bay J:L Hewitson T:Y S Tsui	J:L Hewitson T:Y S Tsui	132	t	450051	37	-	-	14d	—	—	—	10	—	—
5lb rise for latest victory demands more but he has placed off higher marks in the past
5 (6)	General Winner Bay J:Karis Teetan T:W Y So	J:Karis Teetan T:W Y So	131	p	805542	36	-	-	14d	—	—	—	5	—	—
0-18 but has proved much more competitive since dropping down into this grade
6 (8)	Star Of Glory Bay J:Jerry Chau(2) T:C W Chang	J:Jerry Chau(2) T:C W Chang	131	b	189007	36	-	-	14d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Yet to land a blow since a C&D victory in February; weakened under a positive ride latest
7 (13)	Boys Party Bay J:Harry Bentley T:Douglas Whyte	J:Harry Bentley T:Douglas Whyte	126	—	61-760	31	-	-	14d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Held on gamely to open his account at the end of last year; yet to land a blow since
8 (10)	Super Joy gr/b J:H T Mo(2) T:L Ho	J:H T Mo(2) T:L Ho	129	et	970994	34	-	-	6d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Posted a respectable effort when fourth here six days ago; now needs to build on that run
9 (14)	Smart Beauty Grey J:Angus Chung(7) T:A S Cruz	J:Angus Chung(7) T:A S Cruz	127	htb	000656	32	-	-	14d	—	—	—	0	—	—
0-10 but appears to be getting the hang of things; needs to be at his best from stall 14
10 (2)	Lucky Missile Bay J:L J Ferraris T:D J Hall	J:L J Ferraris T:D J Hall	126	b	007369	31	-	-	46d	—	—	—	1.5	—	—
Somewhat disappointing in his last two starts; now 10lb below his last winning mark
11 (4)	Tsuen Wan Glory Bay J:Brenton Avdulla T:K L Man	J:Brenton Avdulla T:K L Man	124	ht	7-6050	29	-	-	85d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Not disgraced over 6f on seasonal bow but form has declined since; returns from a break
12 (9)	Foxhunter Way Bay J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	123	—	419938	28	-	-	49d	—	—	—	4.1	—	—
Ran well when third on penultimate start but a career-best is now needed for win purposes
13 (12)	Splendid Star Bay J:M L Yeung T:L Ho	J:M L Yeung T:L Ho	121	—	869081	26	-	-	11d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Belatedly broke his maiden tag last month; 15lb rise demands a significant jump forward
14 (7)	Smiling Face Bay J:Matthew Chadwick T:Douglas Whyte	J:Matthew Chadwick T:Douglas Whyte	116	tb	780890	20	-	-	25d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Recent efforts don't suggest he is poised to improve his very modest strike-rate
