Mainly out of form of late; McDonald replacing claimer in the irons may prompt resurgence.
3 (1)	Second To None Bay J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	134	—	70009-	59	77	-	35d	—	—	—	2.3	—	—
Back from a short break here but has been badly out of form in all four runs this term.
4 (4)	Fantastic Fun Chestnut J:Blake Shinn T:C Fownes	J:Blake Shinn T:C Fownes	133	t	4907-0	58	76	-	14d	—	—	—	2	—	—
Has not showed enough in five local appearances to make him of much interest here.

6 (9)	Etalon Or Chestnut J:Alexis Badel T:P F Yiu	J:Alexis Badel T:P F Yiu	130	b	02532-	55	73	-	28d	—	—	—	9.9	—	—

On a long losing streak and latest outing over C&D three weeks ago was ony fair.

Still a maiden; best of five ordinary 2024 starts when fourth over C&D four weeks ago.
13 (10)	World Hero Bay J:Alexis Pouchin T:David A Hayes	J:Alexis Pouchin T:David A Hayes	118	p	78504-	43	76	-	28d	—	1W/1P 1 run	—	0	—	—
