Callan | 7 | 18 | 3.5 | Star Form:Has come away with minor cheques six times from his past seven starts at both tracks.

Rispoli | 6 | 19 | 3.3 | Star Form:In front for an upset win in his initial C&D run in February, then failed to menace four times - including three at Sha Tin - before finding only True Grit too good over this Valley trip. --4 | |
| 3 | 2/1/6/2/2/5 |  | CORDYCEPS 蟲草之星 (B070) | +1 | 1169 +22 | B | K. W. Lui | 4 | 126 | 73 | A. Domeyer | 11 | 11 | 2.5 | Star Form:Followed up four straight minor placings with a comfortable win in front over the 1,600m, then game seconds from wide gates in two of his next three before a never-properly-tested C&D fifth. --4 | |

Moreira | 3 | *1.6 | 1.8 | Star Form:Easily beat Universal Go Go for a second straight time despite a rise in class to ring up a third consecutive win over this C&D from seven starts. Chance despite seven pounds more to carry. --4 | |

Yeung -2 | 10 | 62 | 9.0 | Star Form:Did nothing three times over a range of distances at this course, then gave up 150m out after copping a check at the 250m latest over the Sha Tin mile. --2 | |

Poon -3 | 1 | 18 | 2.2 | Star Form:Has failed five times at both tracks after travelling up on the speed for back-to-back placings over this C&D. Exits a breeze-punching trip fifth to Win Win. Is well rated. Has a new trainer. --3 | |

So -2 | 5 | 40 | 5.3 | Star Form:A Class Four dirt winner in December, then erased numerous bad runs in Class Three with a pace-pressing win at 114-1-odds over the Valley 1,800m before a fading seventh. Was lame 21 days back. --2 | |

Peaked on his move 100m out following a midfield run in a recent eighth over the 1,400m. Valley mile is worth a try. --3 | |

Ho | 2 | 21 | 3.6 | Star Form:Improved with a midfield move for third over the 1,400m on a wet track at his sixth start, then finished around midfield from tricky gates once at each track over mile trips. --3 | |

Leung | 4 | 14 | 2.7 | Star Form:Caught the eye to finish in the mix three times with a switch to the Valley mile, including a terribly unlucky fourth to Penang Hall, then never fired from a wide gate at Sha Tin. Keep him safe. --4 | |

Chadwick | 8 | 22 | 3.8 | Star Form:Veteran is still to salute in 15 starts this term but has placed twice over this C&D, including a last-to-third result behind Bigwood 21 days back. Lightweight hope. --4 | |

PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Zhan Jiang Rocks never clicked last start over the 1,600m from a wide gate but was knocking on the door in three prior starts over this C&D. He finally draws a gate and is the race sleeper off a light weight. True Grit made it look easy when beating Universal Go Go up in grade for a third straight C&D win and he remains a leading player despite a rise in weight. Cordyceps has notched a 1,600m win and six placings from his opening nine Sha Tin runs and had excuses in his initial C&D run earlier this month when held up at the 300m as the favourite. Gate 11 won't help but he clearly deserves another chance. Magnetism is clearly well rated off a couple of C&D wins last term and is coming off a fast-finishing third to Bigwood. He's a place chance at the bottom of the weights.
