Returns from a 32-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 14 at Sha Tin on December 27 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Magnifique with 55.5kg at $94. The race before that 9th of 12 at this track on December 17 over 1000m, 5 len behind Candlelight Dinner with 54kg at $16. Nicely placed and is a winning chance.

Racing well recently. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track on January 7 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Straight To Glory with 61kg at $8.70. The race before that 4th of 12 at this track on December 17 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Candlelight Dinner with 52kg at $12. He should be in this for a long way.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track January 7 over 1200m defeating Honest Witness with 57kg at $7.10. Before that 2nd of 12 at Sha Tin on December 20 over 1200m, neck behind Glaciated carrying 57kg at $8.80. Looks suitably placed here and should play a big role again.

Most recently 8th of 12 at this track on January 7 over 1200m, 5 len behind Straight To Glory carrying 61kg at $26. The run before that 6th of 12 at this track on November 26 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Somelovefromabove with 61kg at $19. No surprise if he turned things around.

Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on October 15 over 1200m, nose behind King Glorioso carrying 59.5kg at $10. Strips fitter and is one of the leading chances.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Freshened for 36 days. Resuming 6th of 12 at this track on November 26 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Everstar with 59kg at $25. Second run from a spell second last of 12 at this track on December 23 over 1200m, 7 len behind Awesome Treasure with 60kg at $29. Unlikely to turn it around here.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 12 at this track on January 7 over 1200m, 2 len behind Jolly Companion carrying 58.5kg at $4.20. The run before that 3rd of 12 at this track on December 3 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind California Blitz with 57.5kg at $20. One of the major hopes.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 12 at this track on January 7 over 1200m, 15 len behind Amazing Kid carrying 58kg at $65. Needs to lift.

First starter by Hellbent out of Balady purchased for NZD $ 180,000 (NZB 2023 Karaka - Book 1). Prefer to see.

Jumped at long odds at debut, eased back early on 10th of 14 at Sha Tin on December 27 over 1200m, 7 len behind Mount Everest with 57kg at $29. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Racing second-up today. Last outing eased back early on 7th of 12 at Sha Tin on January 11 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Majestic Valour carrying 56kg at $137. At only start last preparation second last of 11 at Sha Tin on September 21 over 1200m, 7 len behind Motor with 56kg at $51. Expect he'll find this too tough.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation when last of 14 at Sha Tin November 9 over 1600m, 24 len behind The Auspicious carrying 54.5kg at $128. First up last campaign ran last of 14 at Sha Tin October 19 over 1400m, 13 len behind Lucky Sam Gor carrying 55.5kg at $170. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.
