Race 1 (1,000m)

9 Sonic Boom caught the eye first-up. The one to beat with improvement.

7 Ka Ying Victory was withdrawn on debut but has since won his trial under Zac Purton.

1 Chancheng Glory is a winner on debut over this trip.

2 Kaholo Angel has mixed his form. Keep safe.

Race 2 (1,200m)

8 Golden Mission is consistent and has performed well on the dirt.

4 Turbo Power can make his presence felt on the dirt in this grade.

5 Aca Power has good form and an ideal draw.

Race 3 1,200m)

6 Go Hero makes his debut following several solid trials. He looks to have his fair share of ability.

10 Noble One has shown consistency without winning. Worth considering.

4 Sunlight Power is lightly raced but clearly has ability and pairs favourably with Purton.

1 Super Highway is chasing a hat-trick of wins.

Race 4 (1,200m)

7 Star Club showed his true ability last start. Any improvement should see him win.

4 Golden Samurai is better than what his latest effort suggests. He can bounce back, especially from barrier 2 in Class 4.

6 Packing Bole should attract plenty of support on debut with Purton up. His trials and trackwork have been very good.

2 Happy Fat Cat should lead and could take getting past.

Race 5 (1,600m)

10 Asian One returns to a suitable course and distance. He has done his best racing on the turf at Sha Tin. The one to beat.

2 Flying Mojito rarely runs a bad race. He draws ideally and is in the right vein of form.

6 Gold Tack should return to his best over a mile.

7 Lucky Eternity is improving with each and every start.

Race 6 (1,800m)

5 Universal Horizon has a stack of class and should be winning this, rain or shine.

2 Perfect Team is tracking towards a first win. He draws ideally.

14 Round The Earth slots in light with bottom weight (115lb).

3 Above is consistent and just needs to offset the wide draw to be a factor.

Race 7 (1,400m)

7 Yellowfin is surprisingly not a winner yet. But he is in the right vein of form and the inside gate suits.

3 Chilli Baba is classy and can continue his development.

2 Simple Hedge draws well and was an impressive winner two runs back. He also gets Purton.

1 Blue Marlin is lightly raced but has a stack of ability.

Race 8 (1,400m)

7 Flaming Rabbit is racing well. He should press for the lead from an ideal draw and is hard to catch.

1 The Golden Scenery has the class edge and is racing with plenty of merit.

9 Amazing Victory is consistent and always runs well. The inside draw favours him.

5 Galaxy Witness has a powerful finish. This appears suitable.

Race 9 (1,200m)

2 Gummy Gummy was impressive when ending three seconds with a good victory last time. He can continue his upward trajectory from an inside draw. Purton sticks aboard.

3 Mark The Moment is consistent and gets a handy 10lb (4.54kg) taken off his back with apprentice Ellis Wong engaged.

7 Man Star knows how to win on the dirt. He gets his opportunity.

4 Lightning Bolt can make his presence felt under Teetan.

Race 10 (1,200m)

5 Ace One is racing with plenty of merit and getting to Sha Tin is a plus. The one to beat.

11 Eighty Light Years slots in light and looks to be taking the right steps forward each start.

8 Allgreektome is consistent, gets the inside gate and pairs favourably with Teetan.

2 Flying Ace is classy but must overcome the wide draw. Purton’s booking will give him every shot.

Race 11 (1,400m)

6 Shining Gem was interfered with badly last start and he clearly has much more to offer. With improvement and Wong’s 10lb claim, he is the one to beat.

4 Good Buddy finds a suitable contest. The inside gate is a big positive.

2 Beauty Inspire is in the right vein of form and pairs favourably with Purton.

10 Massive Action should lead and may take catching from an ideal draw.
