R15 (15)	Joyful Treasure Bay J:TBC T:K W Lui	J: T:K W Lui	128	—	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Signs of no more than modest ability in six trial races; reserve.
R16 (16)	Camp Fire Bay J:TBC T:Douglas Whyte	J: T:Douglas Whyte	120	ht	9680	44	72	-	32d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Unplaced in all four starts thus far; big outsider; reserve.
1 (5)	Super Legends Bay J:James McDonald T:C S Shum	J:James McDonald T:C S Shum	135	tb	521254	59	73	-	21d	—	—	—	8.8	—	—
Likes this C&D and has been running consistently well; merits close consideration.
2 (4)	City Thunder Chestnut J:Zac Purton T:W Y So	J:Zac Purton T:W Y So	133	t	490043	57	73	-	14d	—	—	—	4.8	—	—
Still a maiden but his last two runs (both this C&D) have been his best; solid claims.
3 (1)	Hayday Bay J:Matthew Poon(2) T:P F Yiu	J:Matthew Poon(2) T:P F Yiu	131	—	141448	55	74	-	32d	—	—	—	4.3	—	—
Trailblazer with the plum inside draw; leading contender if modest latest run is forgiven.
4 (14)	Metro Warrior Bay J:M L Yeung T:David A Hayes	J:M L Yeung T:David A Hayes	129	b	644380	53	72	-	25d	—	—	—	2.3	—	—
On the downgrade and much better at 5f so makes little appeal.
5 (7)	Exceed The Wish Bay J:L J Ferraris T:Mark Newnham	J:L J Ferraris T:Mark Newnham	128	h	—	52	52	-	63d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Modest effort on debut but placed in two trials since so might progress significantly.
6 (3)	Groovy Feeling Bay J:Ben E Thompson T:Jamie Richards	J:Ben E Thompson T:Jamie Richards	128	t	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Has been placed in only one of four trial races; unlikely to be sharp enough to win here.
7 (8)	Patch Of Stars Bay J:Hugh Bowman T:K L Man	J:Hugh Bowman T:K L Man	128	tb	5	52	69	-	43d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Only beaten by 2l when fifth on last month's debut (this C&D); now tried in blinkers.
8 (10)	Perpetual Power Bay J:Jerry Chau(2) T:T P Yung	J:Jerry Chau(2) T:T P Yung	128	—	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Hard to see this debutant making much impression given his poor form in trial races.
9 (13)	Something Jonah b/br J:Brenton Avdulla T:D J Hall	J:Brenton Avdulla T:D J Hall	128	—	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Has not showed enough in four trials to make him of major interest here.
10 (9)	Spirit Of Peace Bay J:Alexis Pouchin T:J Size	J:Alexis Pouchin T:J Size	128	—	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Debutant who has been placed twice from seven trial race appearances; one for the future.
11 (11)	Island Buddy b/br J:Matthew Chadwick T:W K Mo	J:Matthew Chadwick T:W K Mo	127	tb	02	51	75	-	21d	—	—	—	5.3	—	—
Fine effort on second career start when second three weeks ago; can go well again.
12 (6)	Lucky Impact Bay J:K C Leung T:F C Lor	J:K C Leung T:F C Lor	126	—	490	50	77	-	35d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Has failed to follow up solid debut fourth in July; needs to turn things around.
13 (2)	Spicy Spangle Brown J:Britney Wong(10) T:P C Ng	J:Britney Wong(10) T:P C Ng	125	t	238130	49	70	-	18d	—	—	—	7.7	—	—
Front-running C&D winner; lesser effort last time and needs a fast break.
14 (12)	Fortune Whiskey Bay J:Andrea Atzeni T:David Eustace	J:Andrea Atzeni T:David Eustace	121	tb	770006	45	68	-	25d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Modest improvement last time but his overall profile leaves him plenty to find.
