Last two starts have been disappointing but only 3lb above latest winning mark; reserve.
1 (1)	The Golden Scenery Bay J:Brenton Avdulla T:A S Cruz	J:Brenton Avdulla T:A S Cruz	135	t	463170	103	112	-	29d	—	—	—	19.2	—	—
Won a Group 3 in September and not out of it despite his big weight.
2 (5)	Harmony Great Bay J:M L Yeung T:C S Shum	J:M L Yeung T:C S Shum	115	t	-29140	83	80	-	29d	—	—	—	14.3	—	—
Classy sort in Brazil but huge odds and ran accordingly on recent Hong Kong debut.
3 (9)	Son Pak Fu Bay J:Angus Chung(3) T:A S Cruz	J:Angus Chung(3) T:A S Cruz	129	tb	406606	97	115	-	18d	—	0W/0P 1 run	—	11.8	—	—
Happy Valley 6f specialist who is out of form at the moment.

Likes this track and trip and in good form but stall 14 is a blow for this front-runner.
5 (3)	Packing Treadmill Chestnut J:L J Ferraris T:K W Lui	J:L J Ferraris T:K W Lui	126	p	447498	94	115	-	29d	—	—	—	11	—	—
No real form in decent company so far this season; could bounce back off reasonable mark.
6 (6)	Chiu Chow Spirit Bay J:K C Leung T:K L Man	J:K C Leung T:K L Man	124	tb	311508	92	112	-	29d	—	—	—	15.5	—	—
Needs to return to the form that brought two C&D wins; three lesser runs have followed.
7 (13)	Telecom Fighters b/br J:K De Melo T:Y S Tsui	J:K De Melo T:Y S Tsui	120	—	699430	88	114	-	14d	—	—	—	11.6	—	—
Decent front-runner but best over 1m at Happy Valley and is poorly drawn.
8 (8)	Flaming Rabbit Bay J:Mickael Barzalona T:Douglas Whyte	J:Mickael Barzalona T:Douglas Whyte	120	b	777000	87	116	-	35d	—	—	—	9.3	—	—
Likes to make the running but hard to fancy on the back of six straight poor runs.
9 (7)	Young Champion Chestnut J:Karis Teetan T:J Size	J:Karis Teetan T:J Size	119	—	211850	87	114	-	14d	—	0W/1P 1 run	—	14.3	—	—
Dual C&D scorer; has each-way prospects if you ignore last start, which was over 1m.
10 (10)	Packing Hermod b/br J:Joao Moreira T:K W Lui	J:Joao Moreira T:K W Lui	118	—	1112	86	115	-	29d	—	—	—	29	—	—
Lost his unbeaten record with 1.25l C&D reverse last time but still ran a great race.
11 (2)	Sing Dragon Bay J:Alexis Badel T:Mark Newnham	J:Alexis Badel T:Mark Newnham	118	—	554541	86	108	-	7d	—	—	—	19	—	—
Has good 4-12 win strike-rate but best form is over 6f on dirt.
12 (11)	Rubylot Bay J:Lyle Hewitson T:David A Hayes	J:Lyle Hewitson T:David A Hayes	116	p	213117	83	112	-	29d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	—	23.2	—	—
Had been in great form prior to modest C&D seventh last time; needs to bounce back.
13 (4)	Allcash Grey J:Alexis Pouchin T:C S Shum	J:Alexis Pouchin T:C S Shum	117	t	42-111	83	-	-	393d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—
Debutant; classy in Brazil; touched off in a recent local trial race so merits respect.
14 (12)	Keefy Bay J:Matthew Chadwick T:F C Lor	J:Matthew Chadwick T:F C Lor	115	—	019496	83	116	-	32d	—	—	—	10.3	—	—
Not as good as he once was and three modest runs this term suggest he is up against it.
