A kinder draw in barrier 4 can see him switch back to more positive tactics and take a hand. #6 Yee Cheong Raider is a Brett Crawford stable transfer whose trial work has looked encouraging, and he is down in the ratings enough now to strike. #3 Always My Folks is another stable switcher, moving from Michael Chang to Danny Shum, and he has trialled well leading into this. This is his third Class 5 run and he’s trending the right way. #5 Noble Deluxe broke through impressively on the all-weather last time and the switch back to turf is no issue, but the map is the question. He is in form and still has to be respected. Race 2 - FAT CHOI HANDICAP #14 Happy Park is worth another look at the foot of the weights, particularly since joining the Brett Crawford stable and showing clear improvement at the trials. He has the early speed to hold a handy spot and give himself every chance. #9 Prestige Hall finished off strongly into second from an outside gate last time and he looks to be edging closer to a breakthrough. #4 Goko Win has had little go his way since the class drop, checked when favourite two runs ago, then caught wide from the outside draw on the all-weather last time. He has since led all the way to win a trial and arrives here in better order. #2 Yee Cheong Glory is the one to be watching late. This is his third attempt back in Class 4 and his fast-finishing third over 1000m last time reads well. Race 3 - LUCKY STAR HANDICAP #3 Master Trillion is a class dropper to keep onside. His form has been disappointing since an encouraging first-up second to Pope Cody, but he is better placed now to turn things around. #9 Time To Fire drew barrier 14 first-up over 1400m, was ridden quietly from the back, then ran on into seventh after striking traffic in the straight. The step up to the mile second-up looks suitable, and although he has again drawn wide, the Zac Purton booking is a plus. #4 Forza Toro arrives off back-to-back thirds since the class drop and he looks close to breaking through. #1 Bucephalas can lift back in Class 4 and the race shape gives him the chance to take up a handy spot in a race that does not look to have much early pressure. Race 4 - FAT CHOI HANDICAP #14 Better And Better keeps attracting support without delivering, but he can be given another chance after a stick-on fourth last time when he did not enjoy the smoothest run. He has won a trial well between runs and looks to be stepping out in good order. #6 Good Luck Happy looks ready to break through fourth-up. He went down narrowly on debut, the second-up attempt on speed did not work out, then last time the quieter ride saw him flash home late into second. #3 Nova Knight drops into Class 4 and a recent trial in blinkers showed clear improvement, a sign his race-day form can lift. #7 Baby Sakura has trialled with purpose ahead of debut and that work has to be respected. Race 5 - FAT CHOI HANDICAP #1 Crossborderdude is an untapped Size-trained three-year-old who broke through strongly from barrier 10 last time. Barrier 3 gives him every chance to hold a spot and go on with it. #3 Circuit Champion outran his odds on debut when a strong second to Cool Boy and he trialled well between runs, which suggests it was no fluke. #14 Riding High did plenty of early work from barrier 12 last time and was entitled to weaken late. The speed map looks kinder today and he can improve off a more economical run. #13 Roman Crown has been freshened and won a trial well for the return, but he is still a 19-start local maiden, which is hard to ignore, even if some of his placings read well in context. Race 6 - THE YEAR OF THE HORSE CUP (HANDICAP) #11 Top Dragon is due a change of luck. Two runs ago he was held up at a crucial stage when third to Sagacious Life, then in the Classic Mile he was crowded at the 150m and lost momentum. #1 Encountered has the weight to carry, but his form has held up well this season for the Brett Crawford yard and his strong third to Numbers over 1800m reads nicely for this. #6 Soleil Fighter keeps running honest races without landing the blow, five placings from eight this term, and his form around the likes of Hong Lok Golf and Sagacious Life reads well. He maps well again and gets another shot. #3 Beauty Eternal looks to have found a softer assignment and his last-start fifth in a six-horse field was better than it reads, finishing off in a way that hinted a return to form. Race 7 - PROSPERITY HANDICAP #2 Good Luck Babe returns to Class 4 where his record is strong. He has trialled well leading in and barrier 3 sets him up for the run of the race. #1 Gallant Epoch sets the standard for consistency, coming here off a win and three placings from five runs this season, then a last-start second to Turin Champions, a horse who looks headed higher. #11 Just Follow Me is a three-year-old who has not had much luck at the draw and his roaring condition is the query, but his lead-in trial for the return had plenty to like and Brett Crawford has him looking well. #5 Gorgeous Victory is another three-year-old who covered ground in his only start and has come through a good-looking trial win for return. Race 8 - YUE YEE HANDICAP #1 Happy Index gives the impression he is a horse on the rise after he backed up a strong third on debut with a promising second-up win. #4 The Unique Star has hit the ground running after he ran a cracking second on debut to City Gold Banner. He was held up for a long while before getting clear and charging through the line. The wide draw is his concern. #8 Fit For Beauty is an interesting runner back in trip, given his winning form has been over 1400m and 1600m, but two sharp trials since his last start point to him holding his edge and he has the class to show up here. #2 Jumbo Treasure finds a kinder set-up than last time when he worked too hard from barrier 13 on the lead and weakened late. Race 9 - RED PACKET HANDICAP #7 Le Zonda ran a cracking sixth on debut at this track and distance, eased back early from a wide draw before finishing off sharply late against the race shape. He has since won a trial and a strong win here would quickly put him into the Derby conversation. #3 Seraph Gabriel can also edge into that picture if he can earn the rating points. He is third-up and trending the right way after a neck second to Lucky Sam Gor at the mile. #1 Gentlemen Legacy has been threatening a win this season, posting three placings from six, including recent thirds to Numbers and Winning Wing. He remains in the mix despite dropping back into Class 3 under top weight. #4 Prestige Good went within a head of Winning Wing last time when narrowly missing by a head and he maps for every chance again today. Race 10 - YUE YEE HANDICAP #13 Hot Delight created a buzz when winning impressively on debut from barrier 14, stopping the clock in good time on the day. He has trialled sharply since and profiles as a three-year-old headed higher. #1 Helene Supafeeling won smartly on debut over 1200m, then found the 1400m tempo against him second-up, so the drop back in trip looks ideal and his lead-in trial had plenty of purpose. #4 Red Maestro makes his debut for the John Size stable after winning easily on debut in Ireland and his local trials suggest he has acclimatised quickly. He maps for a good run from barrier 4 and looks ready to hit the ground running. #11 King Of Fighters is a stable transfer to Brett Crawford and he is hard to ignore after two impressive trials since the switch. Race 11 - KUT CHEONG HANDICAP #4 Aurio is thriving this season, a win and two seconds from three starts. He scored easily in Class 4 two runs ago, then returned to Class 3 from barrier 12, raced wide throughout, and still flashed late into second. It was a big effort and the only query is 1400m, but the timing looks right. #2 Super Express won impressively second-up after a solid return when second to Akashvani. He is still doing a few things wrong in running, but with more racing he has more to come. #13 Positive Smile arrives in form after back-to-back wins in Class 4 and he steps back into Class 3 on a light weight, bringing career-best form that makes him hard to ignore. #5 Do Your Part is a model of consistency who can make his own luck up on the pace, and the reunion with Bowman is another positive.
