#1 Bottomuptogether was one of the standout performers last season, clinching three consecutive victories from as many starts. Trainer Frankie Lor holds high hopes for this four-year-old, and he has found a suitable race for his return. #2 Rubylot displayed promise last term, securing three wins. Although he will likely be better suited to longer distances as his campaign progresses, his class will carry him a long way here. #9 Super Fortune enters this race off a last-start victory in Class 4 and now returns to Class 3, where he is expected to lead from the front, as usual. #3 Equatorial has been earmarked by trainer Pierre Ng as a horse to watch, aiming for Four-Year-Old Classic aspirations.
