Genuine stayer who has been placed over this distance and has not been disgraced in harder races lately. He will find this race more to his liking and looks a big winning chance.
2
Excellency
Caught the eye running home last start in a good quality race and will be suited by the rise in trip. Rates highly. Proven at the trip.
3
Lionrockspirit
Former Hong Kong galloper who landed a surprise all-the-way win at 29/1 last start. Should lead and could prove hard to catch again. Has won three times over 2000m.
4
Value Of Justice
Struggling to find his best form and place chances appear best at this level.
5
Yulong Medal
Has been disappointing since arriving from Australia as a two-time winner. Would need a major improvement to figure in the finish.
6
Solo Sun
With a safe beginning he can run an improved race, but hard to see him winning.
7
Yulong Honor
Winner four starts ago in easier grade who has since battled to feature in these higher grades. Not suited here.
8
Lim’s Ripple
Well supported last start when he stormed home to win an easier graded race. Rises in class but remains in good form and should be given a place chance.
9
Molineux
Last start winner over 1600m in an easier grade. Rises in class and distance and may find this too tough.
10
Billy Britain
Has never won from six attempts over this distance and will struggle here.
11
Matsuribayashi
Has been placed at this level before and looks well suited with a lightweight. Include in chances.
12
Majestic Empress
Recorded the fourth fastest final 400m last start and will be suited by the extra 300m. Value chance for exotics.
13
The One
Last start winner in bottom grade. This is much tougher and place at best.
