#4 Ka Ying Victory returns to racing after disappointing as a beaten favourite in July, when he had valid excuses due to blood in the trachea. His trials since have been encouraging, and he finds himself in a winnable race first-up. He is the one to beat. #1 Baby Crystal gets favourable conditions dropping back in grade, where he was twice runner-up to Ka Ying Victory. #5 Stellar Express has underperformed recently but is capable of bouncing back in a race of this calibre to finish in the money. #2 Alpha One has been lacklustre in two runs since a win three starts back but could hold on for a place if not subjected to excessive early pressure.
