'Has eight top five finishes in his last 11 tries but the handicapper may have his measure.'

'Both cheekpieces and tongue-tie are adopted after highly promising C&D debut; big chance.'

'Yet to get close to repeating high class Australian form; 20lb lower than for HK debut.'

'Has lost his form badly and probably needs return to 6f at Happy Valley to spark revival.'

'Some recent runs have been decent yet still unplaced in all eight outings; front-runner.'

'Beaten a neck off 2lb lower over C&D last month; poorly drawn but should still go well.'

'Modest seventh of 11 as a 15-1 chance on only run to date; stepping up from 6f.'

'Best HK run when seventh (beaten 3.75l) as 77-1 chance last time; dropped in class.'

'Hard to predict but made all to win over C&D in April; recent return was underwhelming.'

'Has not showed much promise when beaten by 5.75l in his first two starts; big outsider.'

'Fine C&D comeback second last month; not certain to build on that as may be best fresh.'

'Belied 35-1 odds to make all over C&D in September; up 5lb here and poorly drawn.'

'NZ$260,000 yearling purchase who has failed to shine in trial races; hard to fancy.'

'HK form to date is woeful; big outsider on return from six and a half months off.'
