Race 1: Lukfook Jewellery Hexicon Handicap

#8 Joyful Genius clearly has his fair share of ability. He's done well so far and the step back in distance here appears suitable. He looks a strong chance for Luke Ferraris. #5 Vamos steps out on debut. He's caught the eye in the lead-up to his first outing. Expect a bold showing. #6 Wonderful Horse is open to further improvement. He pairs with Joao Moreira which looks a plus. #10 Namjong Cortez has claims here from the inside gate. Don't discount.

Race 2: Lukfook Jewellery Love Is Beauty Collection

#2 Amazement has taken his time but he appears to be coming to hand nicely. Expect improvement here switching back to the turf from dirt. #4 Sunny And Gold is ready to win. He's doing everything right of late except get his head in front. Joao Moreira hops up and he bears close watching. #10 All The Way is the each way play of the contest. He's value and Derek Leung should get the best out of him. #7 Speedy Dragon draws well and warrants consideration.

Race 3: Lukfook Jewellery Wedding Collection Handicap

#4 Wah May Luck has turned a corner these last two starts. He's racing very well and further improvement is expected here. #1 Daily Charm is due another win. The dip back to Class 5 is a plus and the booking of Vincent Ho indicates a strong showing is expected. #12 Figures Two has the ability but isn't quite piecing it all together. Joao Moreira takes the reins after partnering the galloper in a recent trial. #14 Righteous Win slots in light and shouldn't be too far away. 

Race 4: Lukfook Jewellery Heirloom Fortune Collection Handicap

#3 Whizz Kid is closing in on a first win. He draws poorly but if he can cross early then he'll take a power of running down. #6 Steel Win can bounce back to the level of form here that saw him capture consecutive wins. He should be able to save ground from gate one which will ensure he's strong in the finish. #4 Everyone's Victory is after back-to-back wins. He's racing well. #1 Trader should roll forward from gate two. He'll make his own luck close to the speed.

Race 5: Lukfook Jewellery Goldstyle Handicap

#10 Happy Daily clearly has some talent. A first win is nearing and the engagement of the in-form Karis Teetan commands respect. #11 Island Surprise wasn't too bad from the rear last time out. He looks like he's taking the necessary steps forward. #2 Good Buddy is after a hat-trick of wins. Gate 12 makes things tricky but still, he's firing on all cylinders at present. #14 Young Victory is consistent at the minimum. He gets a handy pull in the weights.

Race 6: Lukfook Jewellery Dear Q Handicap

#8 Magic Supreme should get the absolute run of the race from gate one under Ruan Maia. He won well two starts ago and is expected to bounce back. #4 Harmony Spirit is close to a first win in Hong Kong. Joao Moreira's booking bears close watching here. #11 Mega Heart is competitive in his spot. He's getting on in age but he's refusing to let his form slip. #5 Elon can finish hard here. Expect a fast finish.

Race 7: Lukfook Jewellery Love Forever Collection Handicap

#8 Right As Rain might be worth taking a chance on here at a price. He closed off nicely last time out clocking a sub 23 seconds for the final two furlongs and with clear running room he easily could have finished much closer. #9 Darci Joy is a talent. He relishes every inch of the mile and it wouldn't surprise to see him bounce back to winning ways. #1 Oscar Glory is holding his condition. He rarely runs poorly. #11 Leading Fortune is no stranger to turning his form around. Expect a strong showing from gate four.

Race 8: Lukfook Jewellery Cup Handicap

#5 Blaze Warrior is a superb talent who is looking for his fifth win at just his sixth start having only suffered the one defeat. He scored with ease last start in this grade and a repeat of that effort here would not surprise. #14 The Golden Scenery gets in light. The form around him is top-notch. #10 Ima Single Man has a powerful finish when required. Gate two will afford him every opportunity. #3 Highland Fortune regularly defies expectations. Expect the same again.

Race 9: Lukfook Jewellery F-style Pt in Style Collection Handicap

#7 Seasons Bliss is after a hat-trick of wins. He's beginning to realise his early hype and the manner of his most recent wins suggest that he isn't about to begin slowing down. #2 Five Elements clearly has ability. He's tailed off since his debut but a return to that level here would not shock. #1 California Concord is chasing consecutive wins. He has race-experience and a class-edge on his side. #12 Handsome Twelve can improve further following a strong showing on debut.

Race 10: Lukfook Jewellery F-style Hey Cool Collection Handicap

#4 Super Ten is a seriously smart operator. Expect he rolls to the front under Alexis Badel and from there proves difficult to catch. #2 Captain Win scored in style last time out. He draws awfully awkwardly here but still, the manner of his last win shouldn't be ignored. #8 Xiang Yin is a two-time winner from his last three starts. He can figure with the right run. #12 Beauty Spirit deserves respect. Next best.
