R15 (15)	Reach Goal b/br J:TBC T:Jamie Richards	J: T:Jamie Richards	127	t	0-0229	52	74	-	21d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Consistent enough but remains 9lb above his one and only winning mark in March 2023
R16 (16)	Legion Of Merit Grey J:TBC T:W Y So	J: T:W Y So	121	tb	070621	46	74	-	21d	—	—	—	13.5	—	—
Capitalised on lower mark to score over 1m2f here; up 3lb but still well-in on best form
1 (7)	Young Brilliant Bay J:Ellis Wong(7) T:C H Yip	J:Ellis Wong(7) T:C H Yip	135	b	777-00	60	79	-	35d	—	—	—	2.5	—	—
Disappointing of late but dips into Class 4 for the first time and respected on that alone
2 (4)	Romantic Fantasy Bay J:Angus Chung(3) T:C S Shum	J:Angus Chung(3) T:C S Shum	132	tb	031572	57	74	-	21d	—	—	—	10.4	—	—
Unexposed 4yo is dangerous to dismiss particularly if allowed his own way out in front
3 (1)	Flying Mojito Bay J:Brenton Avdulla T:D J Hall	J:Brenton Avdulla T:D J Hall	129	v	740255	54	83	-	14d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Dual 1m winner here last season; solid claims off this rating and has the best of the draw
4 (8)	Joy Of Spring Bay J:C Y Ho T:C Fownes	J:C Y Ho T:C Fownes	127	t	503323	52	75	-	14d	—	—	—	9.4	—	—
0-8 but has placed on five occasions; unexposed and can't be discounted over new trip
5 (10)	Winning Steps gr/b J:Matthew Poon(2) T:P C Ng	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:P C Ng	126	he	969310	51	73	-	21d	—	—	—	8.8	—	—
Bounced back to form when scoring over 1m2f here last month but struggled off revised mark
6 (13)	Call Me Supreme Chestnut J:Hugh Bowman T:C W Chang	J:Hugh Bowman T:C W Chang	125	tb	46	50	70	-	14d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Tough draw but this considerable step up in trip could unlock plenty of improvement
7 (5)	Ping Hai Comet Bay J:Alexis Badel T:J Size	J:Alexis Badel T:J Size	125	h	004	50	76	-	29d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Kept on for fourth over 1m here four weeks ago; unexposed and could have more to offer
8 (9)	Satirical Glory Bay J:Zac Purton T:David A Hayes	J:Zac Purton T:David A Hayes	123	—	-42559	48	80	-	32d	—	—	—	1.5	—	—
Yet to strike in 20 starts but often runs well in defeat; respected off career-low mark
9 (3)	Chateau Le Peche Bay J:Andrea Atzeni T:Jimmy Ting	J:Andrea Atzeni T:Jimmy Ting	121	b	06030	46	77	-	21d	—	—	—	2.1	—	—
Inconsistent in brief career to date and can only be watched at present
10 (11)	Me Time Bay J:L Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	J:L Hewitson T:Douglas Whyte	121	t	0898	46	72	-	42d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Showed more over 1m2f here last month and better to come from this lightly raced 4yo
11 (14)	Special Hedge Brown J:Jerry Chau(2) T:T P Yung	J:Jerry Chau(2) T:T P Yung	122	tb	167805	46	77	-	21d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Broke maiden tag over C&D in January and now 1lb below that mark but drawn widest of all
12 (6)	Pakistan Friend Chestnut J:Karis Teetan T:W Y So	J:Karis Teetan T:W Y So	120	et	7-0004	45	78	-	32d	—	—	—	0	—	—
C&D winner; on a workable mark and can't be discounted if putting best foot forward.
13 (2)	Little Fairy Bay J:K C Leung T:P F Yiu	J:K C Leung T:P F Yiu	120	tv	-71500	44	77	-	32d	—	—	—	3	—	—
Found things tougher back at this level following February's first local win over 1m here
14 (12)	Kingly Demeanor Brown J:M L Yeung T:A S Cruz	J:M L Yeung T:A S Cruz	117	t	00009	42	71	-	25d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Yet to show anything more than minor promise in five starts (6f-1m); downgrade awaits
