R15 (15)	United Warriors Bay J:TBC T:K W Lui	J: T:K W Lui	123	—	080	46	68	-	90d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Safely held in all three starts last season; impossible to make a case for on return
R16 (16)	Ace Talent Bay J:TBC T:C Fownes	J: T:C Fownes	126	het	451247	49	73	-	18d	—	—	—	5.5	—	—
Ended last season with two perfectly respectable efforts; return run was only modest
1 (3)	Savvy Delight Bay J:Alexis Badel T:J Size	J:Alexis Badel T:J Size	135	et	529832	58	77	-	81d	—	—	—	10.1	—	—
1-20 but was hinting at another victory towards the end of last season; may play a role
2 (14)	Happy For All Brown J:K De Melo T:Jamie Richards	J:K De Melo T:Jamie Richards	133	htb	172690	56	76	-	95d	—	—	—	3	—	—
Failed to add to his debut success last season; interesting back at sprint trips
3 (13)	Ruby Sailing Chestnut J:Zac Purton T:K L Man	J:Zac Purton T:K L Man	130	—	222	53	81	-	21d	—	—	—	11.8	—	—
Has posted three consecutive runner-up efforts; surely gets his head in front soon; claims
4 (11)	Travel Golf Bay J:Matthew Poon(2) T:C H Yip	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:C H Yip	130	tb	283543	53	78	-	18d	—	—	—	4.7	—	—
0-12 but certainly not devoid of ability; expected to be heavily involved
5 (2)	Woodfire Champ Bay J:M L Yeung T:C W Chang	J:M L Yeung T:C W Chang	129	t	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Only modest in numerous local rehearsals; best watched on today's debut
6 (1)	Yee Cheong Spirit Bay J:K C Leung T:C S Shum	J:K C Leung T:C S Shum	129	t	—	52	-	-	—	—	0W/0P 1 run	—	0.5	—	—
Plenty of speed in pedigree and has gone well in a couple of local barrier trials
7 (5)	Sparkling Dolphin Brown J:L Hewitson T:Y S Tsui	J:L Hewitson T:Y S Tsui	127	—	613889	50	80	-	21d	—	—	—	2.9	—	—
All four career victories have come over C&D; should be sharper for latest return run
8 (4)	Always Awesome Chestnut J:Hugh Bowman T:D J Hall	J:Hugh Bowman T:D J Hall	126	—	646	49	70	-	116d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Displayed plenty of promise in three starts last season; more to offer this campaign
9 (10)	Diamond Flare Grey J:Antoine Hamelin T:Mark Newnham	J:Antoine Hamelin T:Mark Newnham	126	b	080858	49	74	-	98d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Disappointing last season; will need the change of scenery to have done him some good
10 (7)	Multidarling Bay J:Jerry Chau(2) T:T P Yung	J:Jerry Chau(2) T:T P Yung	121	t	274604	44	77	-	21d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Fourth in a blanket finish over C&D on return last month; can make his presence felt
11 (8)	Regent Glory Bay J:Karis Teetan T:David A Hayes	J:Karis Teetan T:David A Hayes	120	—	102050	43	74	-	84d	—	—	—	1.5	—	—
Soundly beaten when dropping back to 6f in July; evidently needs further
12 (6)	Strive For Glory Bay J:Matthew Chadwick T:W Y So	J:Matthew Chadwick T:W Y So	118	et	041250	41	76	-	81d	—	—	—	5.5	—	—
Two Class 5 victories last season; needs something extra to score off his current mark
13 (12)	Sweet Diamond Grey J:Andrea Atzeni T:P F Yiu	J:Andrea Atzeni T:P F Yiu	118	t	-06003	41	74	-	92d	—	—	—	3	—	—
Poor for the majority of last season; final outing in July at least gives him hope
14 (9)	The Good Deal Bay J:Harry Bentley T:Douglas Whyte	J:Harry Bentley T:Douglas Whyte	117	tb	313136	40	73	-	21d	—	—	—	10	—	—
In good nick towards the end of last season; creditable effort on last month's return
