Won this in 2024 and doubled Group 1 tally in last month's Hong Kong Mile; good chance
2 (2)	California Spangle Bay J:Brenton Avdulla T:A S Cruz	J:Brenton Avdulla T:A S Cruz	126	t	2384-9	123	140	-	18d	—	—	—	18.3	—	—
Three-time Group 1 winner (once over C&D) but no longer the force of old; up against it
3 (8)	Beauty Eternal Chestnut J:Zac Purton T:J Size	J:Zac Purton T:J Size	126	—	21684-	119	139	-	42d	—	—	—	21.3	—	—
Surprise C&D winner last April but not at same level this season

Has modest strike-rate in recent years but regularly holds his own at this level

Very progressive in 2024; behind Voyage Bubble the last twice but had some excuses
6 (6)	Chancheng Glory Bay J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	J:C Y Ho T:K W Lui	126	b	13326-	110	133	-	42d	—	—	—	22.9	—	—
Placed in three Group races this season; another minor role probably his best hope today
7 (5)	Red Lion Bay J:Hugh Bowman T:J Size	J:Hugh Bowman T:J Size	126	—	2898-5	110	136	-	18d	—	—	—	15	—	—
Placed in two Group 1 races last season (7f/1m) but not at his best this term
8 (1)	Patch Of Theta Chestnut J:Karis Teetan T:K W Lui	J:Karis Teetan T:K W Lui	126	—	1231-1	108	125	-	18d	—	—	—	24.5	—	—
Very comfortable winner of 7f Group 3 handicap here this month; evidently in prime form
