Two C&D seconds read well but he's looked flat in two runs this year and other appeal more
1 (3)	Five G Patch Bay J:Hugh Bowman T:A S Cruz	J:Hugh Bowman T:A S Cruz	135	t	752-13	83	99	-	28d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—

Twice shaped okay over 1m1f and won over this trip in Australia; better to come

8 (4)	Copartner Elites Brown J:C Y Ho T:C S Shum	J:C Y Ho T:C S Shum	123	tb	845-63	71	101	-	35d	—	—	—	5.3	—	—

Twice there's been some promise over 1m1f here but he has something to prove in Hong Kong
14 (11)	Young Brilliant Bay J:V Borges T:C H Yip	J:V Borges T:C H Yip	116	—	212-00	64	106	-	35d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
