RACE 1 (1,000M)
10 Ho Ho Star resumes after a luckless fifth-placed effort after he was badly held up and commands respect.
7 Gorgeous Vitality thrives over the minimum trip and has been knocking on the door for a breakthrough Class 5 victory.
4 Super Elite drops back to Class 5, where he has the ability to make an impact, though the switch to 1,000m poses a question.
RACE 2 (1,400M)
6 Manythanks Forever won convincingly last time. A repeat performance is well within reach, especially from barrier 1.
3 Flying Phantom has settled well into Class 5 and looks primed to break through after storming home into second over 1,400m last start.
14 Regency Happy Star ran a respectable fifth first-up for David Eustace, after being held up in the straight.
8 Fire Ball scored a strong win over the mile last week, and if he copes with the quick back-up, he should be in the mix again.
RACE 3 (2,000M)
4 Awesome Fluke faced a tough task last time in the Group 2 Jockey Club Cup. Dropping to this much easier contest, he can rebound.
9 Bravehearts has been thriving this season under Mark Newnham and benefits from a drop in weight as he steps up to Class 2.
7 Winning Dragon will appreciate the class drop after being outclassed in the Jockey Club Cup.
5 Romantic Thor has trialled impressively since his Hong Kong debut and looks well-suited to the rise in distance.
RACE 4 (1,400M)
