Verdict

Difficult contest to kick off the midweek card. Expect #7 Awesome Treasure can improve following a sold first-up effort over the course and distance. He gets a handy pull in weight with just 116lb assigned here. #3 Ping Hai Galaxy can turn his form around second-up. He was very, very poor upon resumption but has shown before that he is capable of drastically reversing his form. #2 Seizing The Moment should find the right spot from the draw. #1 Equaletta Blitz is after a hat-trick of wins. Keep safe.

Verdict

#1 Island Surprise arguably should have won first-up when he narrowly missed. The retention of Zac Purton here is a positive and any improvement from his first-up effort should see him prove hard to beat. #2 Diamond Soars is progressing well and draws favourably for this race. He gets his chance for the in-form Ricky Yiu. #5 Hearty Wish has claims but will need to offset the wide gate. #4 Flying On The Turf is the first runner for Jamie Richards. Keep this horse very, very safe.

Verdict

#8 Amigos Giggle steps out first-up for the in-form Vincent Ho and Caspar Fownes combination. He's trialled well in the lead-up to his return assignment and the inside gate and light weight will give him every opportunity here. #3 Baby should find the right spot as he chases back-to-back wins. He's competitive at the city circuit. #2 Big Two gets a better draw this time and should be able to take closer order. #6 Sunny Delight's been knocking on the door for a while now. He has claims.

Verdict

#9 Medic Elite was luckless first-up and nearly should have won the race. Still, he can come out and perform once more, especially from a solid draw with Luke Ferraris sticking aboard. #7 Loyal Ambition is racing well and looks ready to peak third-up now following the break. #5 Mister Arm mixes his form but can figure with a few favours. #4 Passing Fashion should find the front from gate five. He'll take a bit of catching – as he has done previously – here under Ruan Maia.

Verdict

#9 Fortune Master steps out for his new trainer Jamie Richards. He's tumbled down the handicap and this contest appears suitable. He's trialled well and the inside gate should hand him the run of the race. #12 Raging Blaze is without a win but has shown tremendous consistency across his 17-start career in Hong Kong. Zac Purton's booking bears close watching. #4 Wins All gets the draw and should run this group along from out in front. #1 Cigar Buddies will do the same but from a wide draw. Must respect.

Top Tip: Fortune Master (9)
Watch out for: Raging Blaze (12)

Verdict

#8 Storm Legend is unlucky not to already be a winner. He's consistent but is having a hard time getting his nose over the line in first spot. Nevertheless, gate one should see him receive the run of the race against a small, compact field. #6 Viva Hunter can improve second-up. He knows what racing at the Valley is all about. #4 King's Capital can do the same, especially with Zac Purton taking the reins from gate four. #3 Master Hero did well to finish fourth first-up. He can take another step forward here.

Verdict

#5 Adios caught the eye first-up and has always eluded to having his fair share of ability. This looks to be the case and from gate four, he should be getting every opportunity. #2 Namjong Sings is nothing short of consistent. He returned in sound order first-up and is a three-time winner in this grade already. #1 Drops Of God closed off soundly for second last time out. Zac Purton retains the mount and he gets his chance once more. #4 Xponential did well to finish fourth after travelling wide first-up. Next best

Verdict

#2 Gang Of Brothers closed nicely for second first-up for his new trainer Pierre Ng. Expect he can take another step forward here following that run, that is, as long he can offset the wide draw. #9 Happy Forever trialled soundly and has shown sparks of potential in the past. He's better than his record suggests and draw one should bring him into contention. #8 Sight Hero is consistent, even if he doesn't manage to win out of turn. #10 My Intelligent has trialled well and looks ready first-up.
