Yet to replicate smart British form in HK; can only be watched at present
R16 (16)	Serangoon b/br J:Reserve T:A S Cruz	J:Reserve T:A S Cruz	133	tp	272450	56	74	-	13d	—	—	—	3	—	—
A winner over 1m1f in February but must improve markedly on low-key return
1 (6)	Sharpen Bright Bay J:Karis Teetan T:D J Hall	J:Karis Teetan T:D J Hall	135	b	221471	58	69	-	118d	—	—	—	16	—	—
Improver when stepped up in trip at Happy Valley last term; opposable dropping in trip
2 (5)	Intrepid Winner Bay J:K De Melo T:C W Chang	J:K De Melo T:C W Chang	134	b	387530	57	72	-	89d	—	—	—	3.9	—	—
Better over further nowadays and yet to win in 18 tries at this track; overlooked

Winless in four local starts; stepping up in trip is a positive but opposable on balance
4 (11)	Midori Burly Bay J:Alexis Badel T:P F Yiu	J:Alexis Badel T:P F Yiu	128	tp	050005	51	74	-	16d	—	—	—	0.3	—	—

A 1m winner at Sha Tin last year and comeback was positive; chance if stamina holds
6 (13)	Affordable Bay J:Antoine Hamelin T:David A Hayes	J:Antoine Hamelin T:David A Hayes	126	tp	988000	49	77	-	13d	—	—	—	0	—	—
A winner up to 1m2f in Australia but has struggled since arriving in HK; easily swerved
7 (4)	Storm Winner Chestnut J:C Y Ho T:C Fownes	J:C Y Ho T:C Fownes	124	t	007353	47	74	-	13d	—	—	—	4.5	—	—
Progressive individual; third over this trip at Happy Valley latest; one to consider
8 (2)	Jubilation Bay J:M L Yeung T:W Y So	J:M L Yeung T:W Y So	123	v	868031	46	74	-	111d	—	—	—	12.1	—	—
A 1m1f winner on his final start of last season; new mark looks tricky but not ruled out
9 (12)	Smart Beauty Grey J:Angus Chung(3) T:A S Cruz	J:Angus Chung(3) T:A S Cruz	123	htb	451317	46	70	-	16d	—	—	—	11.5	—	—
Multiple Class 5 winner here earlier in the year; might not have reached his ceiling
10 (10)	Soaring Bronco Bay J:Matthew Poon(2) T:P C Ng	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:P C Ng	122	—	677703	45	75	-	16d	—	1W/1P 1 run	—	3	—	—
Bettered previous efforts when third over 1m last month; interesting runner up in trip
11 (8)	Special Hedge Brown J:Zac Purton T:T P Yung	J:Zac Purton T:T P Yung	121	tb	054372	44	78	-	16d	—	—	—	6.5	—	—
C&D winner in January and rated lower now; promising seasonal return; likely candidate
12 (9)	Super Hong Kong Brown J:Matthew Chadwick T:C H Yip	J:Matthew Chadwick T:C H Yip	121	b	0-9049	44	75	-	89d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Multiple winner at up to 1m3f but on a losing run at present; best watched for now
13 (7)	The Azure Bay J:K C Leung T:F C Lor	J:K C Leung T:F C Lor	121	—	0640	44	71	-	79d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Encouraging fourth at Happy Valley two runs ago; lightly raced and a possible improver
14 (3)	Happy Hero Brown J:Lyle Hewitson T:Mark Newnham	J:Lyle Hewitson T:Mark Newnham	118	b	024157	41	73	-	13d	—	—	—	6	—	—
