#7 Self Improvement is poised to bounce back in a race like this, and his recent trial win was eye-catching. With a strong tempo expected and James McDonald in the saddle from barrier 4, many factors align in his favour. #5 Super Win Dragon had no luck chasing back-to-back wins last start when crowded at the 700m, effectively ending his chances. #11 Must Go flagged another win is near with his strong second-place finish last time. #2 Wonderstar adopted bold front-running tactics when setting a fast pace last start, fading late into fifth but beaten only three lengths. He is steadily improving with racing experience in Hong Kong.
