1. Free Foal | Surprised punters to win at long odds last start at Sha Tin and in strong form with two wins from 10 attempts this campaign. two of three wins have come from dry ground. Knockout hope. |
2. Beauty Spirit | Finished a length back from the leader last start at Sha Tin and all wins have come when faced with dry ground. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Should go well. |
3. Cheery | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Sha Tin and placed once this prep at the track. Likely to race off the speed. Unlikely. |
4. Kung Fu Tea | Let-up for six weeks. Coming off a win at Sha Tin and this could be harder. Rates as one of the key chances. |
5. Dragon Pride | Can't knock the form with four wins from seven attempts this campaign and chased well to fall just short last start at Happy Valley. Expected to settle off the speed. Must be considered. |
6. Casa Legend | Ran one and a half lengths back from the winner last start at Sha Tin. Up in distance. Must respect. |
7. Bright Kid | Struggled so far this preparation and ran seven lengths back from the winner last start at Happy Valley. Lyle Hewitson not a regular jockey for this trainer. Seems unlikely. |
8. Celestial Warrior | Finished three lengths off the winner last start at Sha Tin and drawn ideally. Can surprise. |
9. Mr Aldan | Unplaced in all 10 runs this prep and beaten by four lengths last start at Happy Valley. All wins have come when faced with dry ground but not in this. |
