Kwai Chung Elite has finally drawn an inside gate for his third run back from a spell, so I want to have something on him after finding the placings in his two runs prior.
The Poet’s Voice gelding has finished only two lengths behind the winner this time in and now gets Antoine Hamelin in the saddle for the first time.
He’s as consistent as they come and won’t be a maidener for much longer.
Tigerlad is another that should take improvement out of his last start second where he finished a nose behind Victorious Leader.
He saddles up as a member of the Tony Millard yard this time around which, as we’ve seen, tends to bring results
Monkey Jewellery is as honest as they come and looks well overdue for another win.

Wood On Fire has placed in four of his last five runs and was unlucky to miss out on his maiden last time out where he finished half a length behind Judy’s Star for second.
Dylan Mo pilots the Per Incanto gelding for the second time and the pair look more than capable of winning from a forward position.
Super Eighteen gets in light again at the weights with Antoine Hamelin on board for the first time.
The six-year-old mixes his form, but did show plenty of improvement coming out of the same race for third behind Judy’s Star.
With even luck he should be right in the finish.
Enjoyable Success has been thereabouts in his last five runs and should appreciate the step back in distance.
The Frankel gelding ran on for second to finish half a length behind Sky Gem over the 2200m a fortnight ago and should be doing his best work late here from barrier 11.
The six-year-old also found the placings over the 1800m at Happy Valley five starts back and now gets the 2.5kg claim of Victor Wong in the saddle.
Leap of Faith returned to the races in good order a fortnight ago running on for fourth over the 1400m under Joao Moreira.
The in-form hoop retains the ride again on Sunday and I think the step up to the mile should suit the Sebring gelding after he found the placings last time in under Zac Purton.

Jade Fortune is another that has cost punters recently, but he did show improvement in his last start when second behind Party Everyday over a similar distance.
His poor record at Sha Tin remains the only query.
It only looks a matter of time before Heza Beauty breaks through for his maiden.
The three-year-old is absolutely airborne having finished no worse than fifth in his five runs to date, while his last start second behind Classic Posh over the course and distance couldn’t have been any more impressive.
All For St Paul’s will need to overcome the wide draw with Antoine Hamelin in the saddle for the second time, but the Magnus gelding also looks close to recording his first win with a runner-up over the course and distance two starts back.
Zac Purton has a similar job on Eptiwins.
The five-year-old dashed home for second third-up over the mile at Happy Valley and should appreciate the step back to the 1400m now.

The gelding by Declaration Of War has found the placings in each of his seven starts since debuting last November and has conditions to suit again here with Joao Moreira stepping into the saddle for the first time.
California Archer mixes his form but has drawn to get the gun run with Karis Teetan retaining the ride.
The six-year-old found the placings over the course and distance last month and tends to do his best racing on the turf. He’s well worth an each-way play here with race fitness and improvement on his side.
Relentless Me gets back to his preferred distance where he is a four-times winner previously.
The six-year-old has returned to the races in great order winning twice over the 1200m and his track record of 12 placings from 22 career starts at Sha Tin speaks for itself.

The Sepoy gelding struggled for luck in the late stages and is certainly sample of bouncing back.

The six-year-old found the placings three starts back over the 1400m and has been doing some of his best work late more recently over the mile.

Glorious Spectrum lines up as the horse to beat in what is a very difficult race to end the program.
The five-year-old son of Helmet has raced well without winning this time in and should take plenty of improvement away from his last start second over the 1400m where he went down narrowly on the line to Band Of Brothers.
Morethanlucky gets Zac Purton for the first time, and while he’s hardly what he once was, he still commands respect as a two-time winner over this distance.
