#8 Holy Power resumed down the 1000m Sha Tin straight and finished a luckless seventh, beaten just over five lengths after being badly held up in the closing stages. He has trialled well since and may relish this course and distance on his first attempt, especially with Zac Purton aboard from barrier 3. #1 Golden Long showed ability last season, but it ended on a sour note when he bled. Resuming, he has looked well in his trials, and trying this course and distance for the first time seems to suit him perfectly. #9 Robot Knight last raced on turf and ran a decent race, but his chances improve back on dirt. He holds form with a nice trial win in between runs. #5 Jolly Companion will give a sight from gate 2. He surprised at a price at this course and distance last start and may have found his niche here.
