5f winner last season but yet to seriously threaten in eight starts this term

Safely held in all five career starts; today's drop in grade certainly not enough to tempt
2 (2)	Brilliant Pioneer Bay J:K C Leung T:C H Yip	J:K C Leung T:C H Yip	133	ht	600055	38	61	-	7d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Has shown improvement recently; creditable fifth in this grade a week ago; chance

0-10 but did finish runner-up in a higher grade in March; capable of posing a threat

Has failed to add to his seasonal debut win; dangerous to dismiss in this grade however
5 (1)	Vamos Bay J:Hugh Bowman T:D J Hall	J:Hugh Bowman T:D J Hall	133	—	448642	38	67	-	13d	—	—	—	5	—	—
Narrowly denied over C&D two weeks ago; becoming frustrating but can go close again
6 (8)	Miracles Brown J:Matthew Poon(2) T:K L Man	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:K L Man	132	b	2-7882	37	57	-	15d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
0-13 but has finished second on three occasions this season; likely to strike soon
7 (11)	Soaring Tower Bay J:Zac Purton T:C S Shum	J:Zac Purton T:C S Shum	132	tb	329760	37	61	-	13d	—	—	—	1	—	—
Well beaten in this grade latest; jockey booking catches the eye

Moderate over 7f two weeks ago but should appreciate this drop back down in trip
9 (5)	Flash Famous Bay J:M L Yeung T:C H Yip	J:M L Yeung T:C H Yip	129	tb	269000	34	63	-	46d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Six victories in Hong Kong; out of form in recent times however

0-13 and yet to seriously threaten since dropping down into Class 5; improvement is needed
11 (13)	Bell Of Victory Chestnut J:L Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	J:L Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	125	—	000-00	30	58	-	98d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Unplaced in all nine career starts; change of scenery needs to have done him some good
13 (10)	Valhalla Bay J:C Y Ho T:C Fownes	J:C Y Ho T:C Fownes	123	t	665846	28	62	-	15d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Rarely runs a truly bad race but still yet to make his breakthrough; tricky draw

Disappointing in his last handful of starts; needs to bounce back
