#2 Ballistic Win has been knocking on the door for another victory in three starts this season, and his recent third-place finish behind Master Mastermind reads as solid form for this race. James McDonald in the plate adds confidence to his chances. #1 Oriental Smoke drops back into Class 4, where he boasts a strong record. Last time, he faded into eighth after setting a sharp early pace against tougher company. He may roll forward again here but will need to navigate from barrier 10. #10 Win Speed secured his maiden victory last start and has trialled well since. He has more to come. #5 My Flying Angel will wear blinkers for the first time in Hong Kong, and he was successful wearing them prior to his import. He won a trial nicely in the gear leading up to this race, which suggests he could improve.
