#8 Alsonso produced a highly encouraging third on debut over 1200m, a distance short of his best. The step up to 1400m second-up should suit perfectly. #1 Lucy In The Sky is a model of consistency, missing the placings just once in eight starts. A nice trial between runs signals readiness, but barrier 10 could prove sticky. #5 Winning Gold blundered at the start last time over the mile and couldn’t recover. The drop back in trip is a positive move. #7 Charming Legend arrives in Hong Kong unbeaten from two starts in Australia. While he may need the run, his trial form has shown promise, and Zac Purton taking the reins first-up is eye-catching.
