Winner over this trip at Sha Tin in May; efforts here are a lot less encouraging
2 (1)	Multimore Bay J:Zac Purton T:T P Yung	J:Zac Purton T:T P Yung	134	t	490-40	39	52	-	91d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Eyecatcher over C&D in May; down in grade and Zac Purton booked; major chance
3 (6)	Theta Hedge Bay J:Matthew Poon(2) T:K W Lui	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:K W Lui	133	tb	640233	38	63	-	69d	—	—	—	7.6	—	—
Consistent performer but likely to improve for the run and Zac Purton prefers Multimore
4 (8)	Easy Two Bay J:K C Leung T:Jimmy Ting	J:K C Leung T:Jimmy Ting	132	htb	008000	37	62	-	63d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Little form to date but drops in grade and has blinkers for the first time; not ruled out
5 (5)	Vamos Bay J:Hugh Bowman T:D J Hall	J:Hugh Bowman T:D J Hall	132	—	486424	37	65	-	59d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Often runs well without winning; races off a career-low mark and shouldn't be far away
6 (2)	Goodmanship b/br J:L Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	J:L Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	128	tb	5-9537	33	60	-	63d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Suited by this return to 6f and sole win was off of this rating over C&D; chances
7 (7)	Tsuen Wan Glory Bay J:Alexis Badel T:K L Man	J:Alexis Badel T:K L Man	119	ht	-60509	24	61	-	66d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Ran well first time up last season; easing in the weights and can do better back at 6f
8 (4)	Valhalla Bay J:K De Melo T:C Fownes	J:K De Melo T:C Fownes	119	t	584655	24	64	-	3d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Has dropped down the weights and showed promise on his return on Sunday; leading claims
9 (3)	Hunky Dory Bay J:Andrea Atzeni T:W Y So	J:Andrea Atzeni T:W Y So	118	tv	9-5704	23	60	-	129d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Dropped 4lb after an improved performance to end last season; could be a lively outsider
