#6 Monta Frutta returns to the all-weather, where he boasts strong form. First-up since a storming second to Packing Hermod last time he raced, he looks a genuine contender. #12 Offroad Master is building a solid record, with a win and a placing from three starts. He maps to get an ideal run from barrier 4, and the weight relief on the class rise makes him easy to like here. #9 Mojave Desert secured his first Hong Kong win in style last start, marking an impressive first start for trainer Mark Newnham. He should hold his form and remain competitive despite the step up in class. #3 Stormi is an interesting prospect second-up in Hong Kong. His quiet debut from a wide draw suggested improvement to come, and while he may prefer further based on overseas form, his excellent record on the Polytrack in Ireland hints that the switch to the all-weather will suit.
