'Newcomer; has won the last two of his four local trials; fast break needed from wide draw.'

'Well handicapped on his best form but remains winless after 26 attempts.'

'Two promising efforts thus far (denied clear run on debut); should continue to progress.'

'Totally out of form and has health questions to answer after bleeding last time.'

'Below his best last time; reproduction of his two previous efforts would see him go close.'

'Showed first real glimmer of ability but still beaten by 4.5l last time; upped from 5f.'

'Hard to recommend following four modest 5f efforts since arriving in Hong Kong.'

'Well bred but beaten in all four trials; likely to need a little time to get off the mark.'

'Has not shown enough in five trials to make him a likely debut scorer.'

'Has dropped to a good mark and latest 2.25l fourth was mildly encouraging,'

'Looking to complete a 6f hat-trick after two Happy Valley triumphs; raised another 6lb.'

'Will be a big outsider after beginning his career with four poor efforts.'

'Likely to build on his fair debut effort, when 4l seventh over this C&D two weeks ago.'

'Fine effort when fifth on C&D debut; this looks a stronger race but cannot be ruled out.'
