#6 Masterofmyuniverse can double up despite the rise in grade, having impressed with a sharp turn of foot to break his maiden last start on just his third attempt. This John Size-trained runner is on an upward trajectory with plenty of upside. #12 Great State is still chasing his first Hong Kong win and hasn’t had much luck recently, but his third-place finish to Rubylot four starts ago is solid form for this contest. #4 Lucky Eight has been running well this season despite battling wide draws in his last three starts. A shift to barrier 4 should see him enjoy a much better trip. #1 Young Superstar has the tactical speed to get forward early and he will be suited by the rail being in the C+3 position, which can favour on-pace runners under the right race shape.
