#10 Superb Capitalist is going to use his 10lb apprentice claim to find the front and lead in Panashop Handicap. #8 Strongest Boy has shown a little bit of early toe and a clean run late.

#10 Fortune Patrol was unlucky last start and he can atone for that with a good effort this weekend. #8 Sky Gem is a tidy stayer in this grade and will get every chance from an inside draw. Superb Daddy is closing in on another win. Star Of Glory should hit the front and remain there for a while.

General Ace is the favourite in Panasonic Ziaino Air Treatment Handicap. Zac Purton will ride him. Golden Bull has looked well in trackwork and trials. Fast Buck comes from the right stable. Dragon's Luck should roll forward and take his shot.

Benno Yung has won five races from 14 starts this season. Skyey Supreme is a threat in Class 4. Green Laser is getting there slowly. Righteous Doctrine will win again soon.

#2 Speedy Mouse returns after a stint at Conghua with injury. #5 Flying Dragon can't quite get his nose in front when it counts.

#11 Master Of Luck is progressing well for a lightly raced prospect. #4 Marado came out of the same contest and didn't have a lot of luck. Flying Mojito has a touch of talent and can continue his progression.

#5 Blaze Warrior is a promising prospect for John Size and Alexis Badel. #4 Fantastic Treasure returns to suitable company in Class 1. Cheerful Days has won third-up in the past.

#3 Bear Slam is favoured to win first-up. #6 True Legend did well to stick on for third last start. Super Dynamite catches the eye following a sound first up effort.

#13 Enchanting Ibis is in superb form and can continue his progression here. #2 Bundle Of Charm has two wins from five starts. Zac Purton is a strong booking and gate four will ensure he gets every chance. Phoenix Light can improve second-up and is worth an each way bet.

#4 Voyage Bubble has carried his good form through the break with him. #5 Excellent Daddy can improve switching back to the turf. #12 Sweet Encounter has two wins from two starts. Beauty Charge has claims. Declan Schuster grew up loving the sport and doing the form after Pierro won the 2012 Golden Slipper. He is employed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
