Chau -10 | 8 | 8.5 | 8.6 | 2.5 | Star Form:Returns to the level of two speed-tracking wins from his opening three starts after only staying on for minor cheques twice over this trip from eight Class Twos.

Moreira | 7 | 4.5 | 4.8 | 2.3 | Star Form:Knocking on the door with four straight 1,400m placings, then quickened nicely to win four on the trot in blinkers, including two at this level, before closing well for placings twice. Mile's worth a try. --4 |

Chadwick | 1 | 8.6 | 7.7 | 3.2 | Star Form:Didn't do much in his first three Sha Tin starts on both surfaces, then produced a well-timed win 11 days back at 32-1 stepping up to the 1,600m back on the turf. Keep him safe. --4 | |

Schofield | 2 | 5.4 | 5.1 | 2.3 | Star Form:Rallied well to finish a close 1,400m third to My Ally in his January debut, then closed well from beyond midfield in a recent fourth to Amazing Chocolate following a five-month break.

Purton | 12 | 6.9 | 7.1 | 3.4 | Star Form:Dashed strongly for a surprise win over this C&D in February at his seventh run this term, then brushed aside three ordinary runs with a rallying short-head second before failing last month with mucous. --3 |

Yeung | 6 | 19 | 18 | 4.9 | Star Form:Has been racing consistently well to earn minor cheques on both surfaces in seven of nine starts this term.

Teetan | 3 | 17 | 14 | 3.7 | Star Form:Kept up an even gallop racing worse than midfield in his May debut over the Sha Tin 1,200m, then came from behind midfield for a distant fifth to Flying Sword over the 1,400m. Bred to get this trip and further. --3 | |

Hamelin | 14 | 11 | 12 | 4.0 | Star Form:Unlucky not to have saluted with a top-four finish in seven of his past eight runs at both tracks. Came out of a handily-ridden second over the Sha Tin 1,800m last month with blood in his trachea. --4 |

Wong -5 | 11 | 41 | 40 | 6.7 | Star Form:Returned to form following a downgrade for a second and a win over this C&D, then filled the frame in three of five runs at this level.

Leung | 9 | 14 | 17 | 4.2 | Star Form:Ran on to fill the frame in five of his opening seven runs up to a mile at both tracks this term, then failed to menace six times at both tracks.

PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Fantastic Show added to four straight wins and five placings from his opening 10 runs over the 1,400m with a rallying second to Flying Sword latest. He's one of the chances despite stepping up to a mile here. The Rock has made a solid impression to fill the frame in his two starts, including a closing fourth to Amazing Chocolate latest following a lengthy break, and will appreciate the extra 200m. He's one for the shortlist. Precise Express came right with a well-timed win at long odds in his initial run over this Sha Tin trip latest. He should be cutting all the corners from gate one and needs to be kept safe. Entrusted has shown progress in his two starts and should find the mile to his liking. He can place.
