#3 Ballistic Win lost no admirers with a solid third first-up. With a favourable draw in gate 3 for jockey Ben Thomson, he can bounce back to winning form. #7 Master Mastermind had a testing first-up run from a wide draw but finished strongly into fourth. The 1400m should suit him better second-up, and drawing barrier 1 can turn his luck around. #2 First Love was disappointing first-up but showed ability last season. With a tongue tie applied for the first time, he deserves another chance to atone. #5 Highland Rahy will be fitter for his second-up run and is steadily improving with each race in Hong Kong.
