Off the mark in good style over C&D a week ago; 6lb rise looks more than manageable
2 (6)	Superb Capitalist Bay J:Angus Chung(5) T:A S Cruz	J:Angus Chung(5) T:A S Cruz	132	ht	69-304	77	94	-	14d	—	—	—	6.8	—	—
Faced competition for the lead in his last two defeats; dangerous if allowed to dictate
3 (7)	Beauty Infinity Bay J:Zac Purton T:J Size	J:Zac Purton T:J Size	124	—	3-1621	69	92	-	14d	—	—	—	6.9	—	—
Progressed nicely in his first five starts; set for a very bright future; leading player

Ran well off his revised rating last month and another good showing looks on the cards

Faded tamely under his habitual positive ride last month; may bounce back

Well handicapped on some of last season's form but recent efforts have been underwhelming

Yet to show a great deal since arriving in Hong Kong; others readily preferred
