Newcomer who has not showed much zip in four local trial races; reserve.
1 (14)	Akashvani Bay J:Lyle Hewitson T:David A Hayes	J:Lyle Hewitson T:David A Hayes	135	—	1	60	70	-	28d	—	—	—	12.5	—	—
Impressed with all-the-way 1.25l C&D success on last month's debut; up 8lb; poorly drawn.
2 (8)	Flash Current Bay J:Harry Bentley T:Jimmy Ting	J:Harry Bentley T:Jimmy Ting	133	t	813	58	71	-	28d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	—	12	—	—
C&D winner who was 2l third to Akashvani last time; now 8lb better off with that rival.
3 (6)	Golden Luck Bay J:Britney Wong(10) T:K L Man	J:Britney Wong(10) T:K L Man	130	t	5-3508	55	77	-	28d	—	—	—	1.3	—	—
Triple Happy Valley 6f winner; last two runs have been poor after numerous good efforts.
4 (1)	Lucky Archangel Bay J:Matthew Poon T:F C Lor	J:Matthew Poon T:F C Lor	129	b	6-5907	54	72	-	25d	—	—	—	1	—	—
Looks well treated but lacks recent form and is much better at Happy Valley.
5 (13)	Legend Star Bay J:L J Ferraris T:C S Shum	J:L J Ferraris T:C S Shum	127	t	—	52	-	-	—	—	0W/0P 1 run	—	0.5	—	—
Australian trial winner but local trial form is modest and is likely to need this run.
6 (7)	Lucky King Bay J:K C Leung T:W K Mo	J:K C Leung T:W K Mo	127	htb	—	52	22	-	53d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Offered little promise for the future in poor 1m dirt run on his debut two months ago.
7 (5)	Star Figure Bay J:Brenton Avdulla T:Jamie Richards	J:Brenton Avdulla T:Jamie Richards	127	tp	—	52	58	-	32d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Failed to live up to market expectations on last month's debut; worth another chance.
8 (4)	Sunny Sing Spirit b/br J:Karis Teetan T:W Y So	J:Karis Teetan T:W Y So	127	p	—	52	-	-	—	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
Newcomer; unlikely to be involved in the finish on the evidence of his six trial races.
9 (12)	Sight Dreamer Brown J:Hugh Bowman T:J Size	J:Hugh Bowman T:J Size	125	t	300	50	75	-	14d	—	—	—	1.5	—	—
Has failed to build on the promise of a 1.25l C&D debut third in two subsequent runs.
10 (11)	Joyful Treasure Bay J:James Orman T:K W Lui	J:James Orman T:K W Lui	123	b	83500	48	75	-	14d	—	—	—	0.9	—	—
His form has taken a downward turn in his last two starts; may appreciate return to 6f.
11 (2)	Affirm Chestnut J:Andrea Atzeni T:P F Yiu	J:Andrea Atzeni T:P F Yiu	121	tv	2522-0	46	78	-	88d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Long-standing maiden and five-time runner-up; hard to predict after three month break.
12 (9)	Sea Sapphire Chestnut J:Ben E Thompson T:David Eustace	J:Ben E Thompson T:David Eustace	118	t	0704-0	43	76	-	81d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Now 2lb lower than for his only win (this C&D) but seems off colour at the moment.
13 (10)	Brave Of Friends Bay J:K De Melo T:Douglas Whyte	J:K De Melo T:Douglas Whyte	116	p	90-709	41	74	-	49d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Has not shown much so far but freshened by a seven-week break; won a recent trial.
14 (3)	Excellent Daddy Chestnut J:M L Yeung T:T P Yung	J:M L Yeung T:T P Yung	116	tp	21-170	41	73	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—	—
