| 1. Whiskey Neat | Let-up for seven weeks and yet to break out of maiden grade after 36 attempts. Down in grade. Looking to others. |
| 2. Iron King | Let-up for seven weeks and should find this easier. Has struggled in all six runs so far this campaign. Sneaky chance. |
| 3. Melbourne Hall | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Happy Valley and this could be easier. Drawn out wide but right in this. |
| 4. Circuit Spiritanto | Unplaced in career and faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Sha Tin when resuming. This could be easier. Seems unlikely. |
| 5. Salutation | Finished four lengths back last start at Happy Valley and racing down in grade. Has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw. At least a place chance here. |
| 6. Ernest Feeling | Let-up and yet to break out of maiden grade after 15 attempts. Draws to do no work. Place hope. |
| 7. Alloy King | Returns from eight week let-up and has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness. All two wins have come in the dry but still looks tested. |
| 8. Tung Haye Haye | Hasn't placed in six runs and down in grade. Place hope. |
| 8. Sunny Baby | |
| 9. Witty Scholar | First-up after 26 week spell and first start for a new trainer. Unplaced in career. Appears tested. |
| 10. Moon Peaks | Let-up for seven weeks and down in distance. Placed at trial in 49 days since last race but looking elsewhere. |
| 11. Star Of Red | Let-up for 10 weeks and fitter for multiple trial runs. Returns to shorter trip. Can get the job done. |
| 12. Fortune Happiness | Beaten by three lengths last start at Happy Valley and faces a rise in distance. Should race on the speed. Should fight out the finish. |
| 13. Golden Mission | Returns from seven week let-up. Faded to finish two lengths off the winner last start at Sha Tin and won once this prep at the track three runs back. Not in this. |
| 14. Super Flames | Let-up and yet to place in 14 attempts. Place only. |
| 16. Dashing Genius | |
