4 Endued was never a chance last time, settling last from barrier 12 in his first outing for Benno Yung, but he closed off well. If he can settle closer, he can improve and should be on a winnable rating.

RACE 1 (1,200M)
7 New Power returns on the quick seven-day turnaround. He enjoyed a good run but was held up at the home turn before opting for an inside run, which was not advantageous then. He has been knocking on the door for another win.
1 Jumbo Treasure won all the way at Sha Tin two starts back but was slightly disappointing last time when fading late into fourth. He can bounce back.
10 Shotgun is lightly raced. His latest run, stepping away from gate 11 and closing in for fifth, showed progression. He looks set to take another step forward, especially moving into barrier 1 which improves his map.
RACE 2 (1,650M)
5 USS Constitution's first run in Class 5 was full of hard luck – drawn widest at this course and distance, and then copped a nasty check at the 300m. He gets another chance to make his mark but, having drawn widest again is far from ideal, though he still shapes as a genuine each-way proposition.
7 Verbier was an impressive all-the-way winner two starts ago over this course and trip. Last time, he stepped up to 1,800m and led again, but faded late into fourth. Back in trip is a big plus.
4 Windicator Family broke his maiden with a strong late run from the back two starts ago, then followed it up with a solid third – he remains in the mix.
12 Medic Elite looks to get an ideal run from barrier 1 and is hard to look past in a race like this, especially after resuming from a five-month break with a sound third last start.
RACE 3 (1,650M)
8 Soaring Bronco has remained in solid form since shedding his maiden tag four runs ago. He was stretched to 1,800m last start but still ran well, closing in late for fourth. Dropping back to a more suitable trip, he is capable of featuring again.
