Spotlight: Commendable second in last season's Classic Mile over C&D and has finished well to make the frame over 7f on both starts this season; sure to be suited by this move back up in trip and has a big role to play.

Spotlight: Struck form at end of last season, recording two convincing 7f course wins, and was denied clear run when sixth over that trip this month; could still have untapped potential over 1m; must be considered.

Spotlight: Commendably consistent over 7f last season (two wins), but was below form on last month's reappearance outing and is yet fully to convince over 1m; current mark demands a career best; others preferred.

Spotlight: Best known as a 6f performer but was placed over C&D last season and made quite pleasing reappearance when fifth over 7f this month; a possible.

Spotlight: Campaigned mainly over 7f during last couple of years but was won over 1m; no longer the force of old but handicapped accordingly, and began this season with two decent efforts; each-way claims.

Spotlight: Won four times last season (7f/1m) and made pleasing reappearance over 7f last month, finishing well for a close fourth; down the field at Happy Valley (1m) since but not much went to plan that day and he can be given another chance; shortlisted.

Spotlight: Posted career-best performance when eased-down winner on dirt here (1m) three weeks ago; evidently in excellent nick but needs to prove he can cope with today's 7lb higher mark back on turf.

Spotlight: Gave good account when fourth on seasonal debut at Happy Valley (1m) last month and did not enjoy run of the race when seventh of nine there (1m1f) 11 days ago, but he's not as good as he was and is not one to rely upon nowadays.

Spotlight: Smart on his going days and outran 87-1 odds when second (no chance with winner) in 1m2f Group 1 here in March; had very mixed record last season, though, and is not easy to predict on first start for eight months.

Spotlight: 3-6 when based in Brazil, including 1m4f Group 1 win last November; always behind on recent Hong Kong debut (7f) but this extra furlong will help and the booking of Zac Purton catches the eye.

Spotlight: Won twice here (1m/1m1f) in February/March, but his improvement levelled off afterwards and he was safely held on recent reappearance at Happy Valley (1m1f); needs to get back in the groove.

Spotlight: Made excellent progress in May/June, making all in 1m4f Group 3 handicap before making the frame in two subsequent Group races (1m4f/1m1f); met traffic when only seventh at Happy Valley (1m1f) last time but this drop back in trip is probably not ideal on first start since July.

Spotlight: Out of form at end of last season and is yet to turn things around after two starts this term, albeit the latter was a belated dirt debut; not the most obvious answer.
