'Has responded well to making the running; 1l second last time; now 2lb higher.'
'Returned from layoff to break has duck last time (1m, dirt); chance again off 5lb higher.'
'Three-time scorer this season; still competitive off this elevated mark; poorly drawn.'
'Fair effort on second dirt run last time and this extra furlong should suit; respected.'
'Trailblazer making his dirt debut here; could struggle to get to the front from stall 9.'
'Still searching for his first Hong Kong success; down to an enticing handicap mark.'
'Has been a shade off colour in recent outings and ran badly on only previous dirt run.'
'Much deserved success last time after many good runs; now 6lb higher and unproven on dirt.'
'Well treated on best form but appears to have lost his sparkle; wins have been over 1m 2f.'
'Modest from to date but down to Class 4 on his dirt debut here and trying longer trip.'
'Trying dirt for the first time here and his recent form has all been over further.'
'Going beyond 1m for first time; yet to get closer than 4l behind the winner in four runs.'
'Close third last time; possible that this longer trip could see him break long losing run.'
'Last four outings have all been modest; unproven on dirt; reserve.'
Non-runner
'Last of 14 on his only start to date; step up from 6f unlikely to suit; reserve.'
