RACE 1 (1,800M)
1 Me Time is tough to oppose in this contest. Making his Class 5 debut, he started favourite two runs ago in Class 4 after a solid second, which is a strong form. With Zac Purton in the saddle and a favourable draw, he is surely the one to beat.
11 Sunny Baby has lost form recently but returns to his preferred track and distance. With barrier 1, he is capable of bouncing back.
8 Turtle Again has not won in a year, though his last-start third suggests he is ready to capitalise.
2 Go Go Go may take up the running with claiming apprentice in a race lacking natural pace. He could potentially steal the race with a soft lead.
RACE 2 (1,000M)
2 Speedy Fortune has been racing well and receives blinkers, following an encouraging trial in the headgear. From his low draw, he looks well-placed to secure a win.
1 Modest Gentleman drops back into Class 5 for his third run this preparation and reunites with Jerry Chau, who guided him to his last victory.
7 Circuit Ten has tumbled down the ratings. He has been edging closer to a win, and if he can utilise barrier 1 early, his chances of breaking through are much improved.
4 Happy Horse also benefits from a drop back into Class 5, where his two career wins have occurred.
RACE 3 (1,650M)
1 Handsome Bomb has been on the pace in two fast-run races this preparation and was entitled to tire late. Trying Happy Valley for the first time, his solid Sha Tin form makes him a leading chance.
10 Dragon Delight remains winless in this grade after 11 attempts, though he has managed four third-placed finishes, including his latest run. From a favourable draw, he should get his chance.
