**Horse:** Jia Hai Yuan Zu (加海原族)

* **Trainer:** G. Wavefa
* **Comment:** Dropping back to 1400m is interesting. If it can show speed and lead easily early, it will be very hard for rivals to pass in the straight.
**Horse:** Gao Yuan Jiu Qu (高原酒區)
* **Recent Form:** Three career starts. Showed competitiveness in maidens on Deauville synthetic in winter. Last start (return from break) was a 1300m claimer on Chantilly synthetic where it ran on without being pushed.
* **Jockey:** C. Soumillon
* **Comment:** Most likely to show improvement. First handicap start. Had a warm-up run and gets a top jockey, which is a good sign.
**Horse:** Zhuan Zhu (專注)
* **Recent Form:** Three career starts. 7th on debut (1600m synthetic). 6th on turf (1800m). Unplaced in a competitive 1600m maiden last start.

**Horse:** Xia Cheng Jin Zhi (夏城金枝)
* **Recent Form:** Two satisfactory handicap runs this season. 3rd in a 1300m handicap at Argentan (beaten half a length). Finished strongly from the back in a 1300m handicap on Chantilly synthetic last start.
* **Comment:** Stepping up to 1400m should be more suitable. Expected to run close.
**Horse:** Ying Tie Han (硬鐵漢)
* **Recent Form:** Acceptable performance in a competitive 1600m maiden last start.
* **Comment:** First handicap start. If it can show improved performance, has a chance for a place.
