Race 1: Australia Handicap

#7 Oh Bravo draws favourably for Zac Purton. He’s shown glimpses of ability at times and his best should see him prove incredibly competitive. #2 Joy Master mixes his form but is a four-time winner in Hong Kong. Luke Ferraris hops up for father David and he should relish getting out in trip here. #8 Mister Arm can roll forward and try to make all here. #11 Super Kin has the wide gate to contend with. He’s next best. 

Race 2: France Handicap

#7 All Joyful can bounce back from his last-start struggles. He was caught far too back in the run that day and it wouldn’t surprise to see him turn it around here. #2 Zone D is holding his condition. He narrowly missed first-up and if he’s a player once more as long as he can offset the awkward gate. #8 Bulletproof draws favourably. He’s open to further improvement. #12 Stay Chill has claims at the bottom of the handicap. Interestingly enough Alexis Badel has opted to ride one-pound over weight.

Race 3: Japan Handicap

#1 Touch Faith closed off nicely last start without room to move. He looks like he’s coming to hand and this contest appears suitable, albeit with top-weight and a wide gate to offset. #12 Sunny Smile gets in light with some solid form under his belt of late. Inside gate and the booking of Alexis Badel enhances his claims. #2 Sunny And Gold is closing in on a win. Zac Purton should get the best out of him here. #3 Alloy King is racing well as a two-time winner from the last three starts. Must respect.

Race 4: LONGINES International Jockeys’ Championship (1st Leg)

#8 Awesome Treasure narrowly missed on debut and off that run shapes as the hardest to beat. He looks like a standout contender here off the back of that forward showing on the speed. #2 Fabulous Eight is looking to snap consecutive runner-up efforts. He’s in very good form and commands respect here. #4 Telecom Rocket no doubt should improve at his second run in Class 4 this campaign. Strong booking of Joao Moreira from the good gate. #9 Charming Steed is next best from gate one.

Race 5: LONGINES International Jockeys’ Championship (2nd Leg)

#5 Viva Hunter just needs to offset the wide gate to be competitive here. Gate 12 can be tricky but he brings some strong form from Sha Tin to Happy Valley. #4 Ai One turned his form around last start. He’s third up now and commands respect with Ryan Moore engaged from gate one. #9 Dr Winning is holding his condition for trainer John Size. Expect another bold showing. #10 Glorious Lover is doing everything right except win. He has claims.

Race 6: New Zealand Handicap

#5 Regency Star is chasing back-to-back wins. He looked well when winning last start and further improvement from that win has him marked as a leading player in this. #8 Spartan Missile turned his form around last start, narrowly missing at 18/1 over this course and distance. Expect another forward showing here. #1 Rewarding Together is class. He draws well and has claims here for the in-form Frankie Lor. #2 Xponential is looking snap a run of three consecutive second-placed efforts.

Race 7: LONGINES International Jockeys’ Championship (3rd Leg)

#8 The Anomaly scored nicely two runs back. He’s held his condition and the inside gate affords him every chance here with Vincent Ho up. #12 Red Majesty has gone from strength to strength of late, notching five wins from his last seven starts. He draws favourably for this. #7 Invincible Missile narrowly missed last time out. Expect another big run here. #1 Amazing One Plus draws well and will relish the added distance.

Race 8: LONGINES International Jockeys’ Championship (4th Leg)

#4 Resolute has the runs on the board this campaign. He’s fit, well and from gate eight he should get every chance under Alexis Badel. #3 Classic Posh draws favourably. Joao Moreira hops up and he gets his chance again as long as he doesn’t settle too far back in the run. #7 California Cible scored nicely last start. He’ll push for back-to-back wins. #11 Elon has proven a consistent customer on the dirt but he was far from disgraced two runs back on the turf. Expect a forward showing.

Race 9: United Kingdom Handicap

#1 Savvy Nine ran well against Group 2 company last start and he looks like he’ll relish the step back in grade here. He has to lug top-weight which is hard but he does get the services of Ryan Moore which helps. #10 Beluga slots in with a light impost. He looks like he’ll relish the added distance on offer here. #12 Fa Fa is looking to continue a meteoric rise through the grades having won five out of his last six starts. #4 Zebrowski is holding his condition. Next best.
