RACE 1 (1,200M) 1 Quick Money remains the one to beat after a strong debut second to The All Out, then going one better with a soft win second-up. The rise to 1,200m now looks ideal.

8 Babieca has performed well in both starts to date, finishing third on debut to The All Out before running a close second to Quick Money. He is still racing greenly, so there is plenty of improvement to come. Zac Purton to ride.

4 Light Years Glory debuts from the inside draw and looks well prepared off several pass-mark trials — he can give a good showing.

10 Hyannis Star was well beaten into fourth on debut, 6¾ lengths off The All Out, but has trialled well since and can take a step forward second-up.

RACE 2 (1,200M) 7 Invincible Ibis is a newcomer who has trialled well enough ahead of his debut to suggest he is in with a chance. Drawn ideally in barrier 2 while key rivals have drawn wide.

10 Goldentronicmighty shed his maiden tag in style last start with an easy two-length course-and-distance win. With the low draw in what looks a moderate race, he can go back-to-back.

3 Call Me Gorgeous has his shot at Class 4 and can make his mark despite barrier 11. His first run in the grade was a passable fourth and he can build on that.

2 Awesome Treasure resumes off a freshen-up and drops in a grade where he boasts a strong record. He should race prominently and give a solid sight under the seven-pound apprentice claim.

RACE 3 (1,200M) 10 Loveisintheair finally gets to the bigger track at Sha Tin where his chances of breaking through for a first win are boosted.

9 Honest Witness is now third-up, and both his fourth-place finishes have been sound. He has since trialled impressively, winning his heat, and maps to race on speed where he gets every chance.
