Race 1: Chevalier Aluminium Engineering Handicap
#4 Baby Crystal did well to narrowly miss on debut in Hong Kong. Expect he can take another step forward with that run under his belt. One to beat. #9 Ka Ying Warrior has looked the part in each of his barrier trials ahead of his debut. Zac Purton’s services bear close watching. #5 We Are Hero should improve switching back to this course. Expect he can continue his ascent. #3 Noble One mixes his form but does appear to do his best racing over this course and distance. He’s worth an each way ticket if he’s a big price.

Race 2: Chevalier Building Supplies & Engineering Handicap
#4 Team Goodluck returns first-up following a tidy trial. He’s suited to racing in Class 5 and he should get every chance here to return a winner. Expect he’s wound-up to perform upon resumption. #2 Sunny Baby hasn’t had a lot of luck of late. He gets his chance to atone for that, however, his task will be tricky from gate 14 of 14. #1 Winwin Thirtythree has the class-edge. Hugh Bowman’s hit the ground running this stint. Expect another solid effort here. #10 Best For You is next best. Don’t discount.

Race 3: Chevalier Car Dealership Handicap
#4 Solar Partner showed a stack of ability last season and with maturity he looks well placed to return victorious first-up. The dirt has looked suitable in previous trials and he’s worth taking a chance on here. #11 Happy Fat Cat will lead and get his chance from there. He won well last start and it wouldn’t surprise to see him do so again. #5 Thunderstrike needs the dirt and will improve third-up. #3 Youthful Deal can take another step forward following his first race on dirt last start.

Race 4: Chevalier Cold Storage & Logistics Handicap
#13 Forever Glorious catches the eye. He should be a bit of value here, especially as he continues to show improvement with each and every run. He can win with a clean run home. #1 Oscar Glory will do the pacesetting. He’s in superb form and his consistency will reward him once more. #4 Accelerando proved his win two runs back was no fluke by finishing third last start. Expect he puts himself in contention again for Zac Purton. #3 Turquoise Alpha has claims after a top win last outing. Next best.

Race 5: Chevalier Construction Handicap
#4 Red Desert deserves another chance here. He’s racing so, so consistently and the right run – which is expected this weekend – gives him every opportunity. He’s fit and ready to win for the first time in a very long time. #1 Man Star is after back-to-back wins. He’s a force to be feared on the dirt and does pair favourably with Hugh Bowman. #5 Midori Beauty is on the dirt for the first time. Keep safe. #3 Lightning Bolt is chasing a return to his best form. He’s much better suited over this distance as opposed to a mile.

Race 6: Chevalier E & M Engineering Handicap
#5 Ching has been racing well and he’s close to a win. Expect him take his shot late at this group and as long as he’s made the necessary improvements, then he can win. #1 Red Titan is a nice horse and he’s overdue a win. The form around him is solid and his consistency – across each start in Hong Kong – will reward him. #2 One Voice did well to win last start and he’s favoured again in Class 4. However, this task doesn’t look straight forward. #9 Super Red Dragon has claims with Zac Purton engaged. Next best.

Race 7: Chevalier Cup Handicap
#4 Running Glory has a stack of talent and his rise looks far from over. Even on the quick back up, he still appears to have plenty more to give and here, under an expected genuine tempo, he should be able to show it. Each way all day. #7 All For St Paul’s should find the front and play catch me if you can. His form around Money Catcher reads well for this contest. #3 Fantastic Treasure ran well last outing and he appears suited over the mile. #8 Keefy is racing well and will get every opportunity.

Race 8: Chevalier Enterprise Digital Solutions Handicap
#2 Pegasus Hero caught the eye in a recent trial. Expect he’s massive odds here but he appears worth taking a chance on, especially after he’s been given a fair bit of time by trainer Me Tsui to acclimatise throughout 2022. #13 Round The Earth is settling in nicely and he should run home well. Vincent Ho hops back aboard which is a plus as he clearly rates the animal. #11 Sweet Encounter has the runs and wins on the board. The draw and Zac Purton’s booking suit. #5 Powerful Wings is next best.

Race 9: Chevalier Environmental Engineering Handicap
#7 Beauty Eternal has a remarkable amount of ability. He can atone for his luckless defeat last start with a win here. Any luck and he’s the one to beat. #5 Superb Capitalist is a worthy challenger. He’ll lead and give Beauty Eternal something to run down. He’s a talent in his own right and will take a power of catching, especially if he gets his own way out in front. #2 Speedy Mouse returned in excellent condition last start. He can improve second-up. #3 Reve Parisien can figure. He can turn his form around.

Race 10: Chevalier Healthcare Investment Handicap
#10 Packing Treadmill is a very, very nice horse. He was a strong winner first-up and he can carry that form through to this weekend. Expect he can do the same again, while the only slight hindrance regarding his chances is the wide draw. Zac Purton sticks with him. #3 Buddies can atone for his last-start struggles. Expect he rolls forward to lead and remains there for a long way. #9 King Land is chasing back-to-back wins. He has claims. #11 Sight Spirit is consistent and worth a shot here. He can figure.
