#5 Galaxy Patch endured a tough run in the G1 Hong Kong Mile, finishing an unlucky seventh after drawing the widest barrier and encountering traffic issues in the straight. This small-field contest with a likely moderate tempo presents an ideal opportunity for him to break through at the top level. #1 Voyage Bubble has cemented his status as Hong Kong’s rising star miler following his commanding win in the Hong Kong Mile. His tactical early speed allows him avoid trouble on-pace, and stepping away from barrier 4 ensures another smooth run. #8 Patch Of Theta is an exciting prospect on the rise after a dominant victory in the Chinese Club Challenge Cup (Handicap). While this is a step up to Group 1 level under set weights, his rapid improvement places him firmly in the mix. #3 Beauty Eternal showed grit in the Hong Kong Mile, leading the field and giving a bold sight before fading late into fourth, beaten only two lengths. The small field here will play to his strengths.
