Races PRX Sha Tin - HK

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation won by 1.75 len Kyoto G1 Mile Championship November 23 over 1600m defeating Gaia Force carrying 58.0kg at $1.80. Previously first up; second of 14 at Tokyo in the G2 Fuji Stakes October 18 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Gaia Force carrying 59.0kg at $1.90. Comes here fresh but his recent form makes him the one to beat.

Last start came from midfield; 3rd of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Lucky Sweynesse with 58kg at $9.30. The run before that second last in a small field at this track in the G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup on March 1 over 2000m, 7 len behind Romantic Warrior carrying 57kg at $7.80. Making headway. Has some queries on how well he's going at the moment but his best is good enough.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; won by 1.5 len at Doncaster LR Doncaster Mile Stakes March 28 over 1609m defeating Volterra carrying 58kg at $1.70. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Epsom Downs in the G3 Diomed Stks on June 7 over 1712m, 0.8 len behind Persica with 61kg at $4. Has failed here a couple of times in the past but his recent effort stacks up.

Racing well recently. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track G2 Chairman's Trophy April 6 over 1600m defeating My Wish with 56kg at $3.90. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at this track in the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup on February 22 over 1400m, 5 len behind Ka Ying Rising with 57kg at $46. Back to winning ways last start and he'll be in this for a very long way.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, nose behind Lucky Sweynesse carrying 56kg at $3.10. The start before that eased back early on 4th in a small field at this track in the G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup on March 1 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Romantic Warrior carrying 57kg at $13. Just missed in a photo last start and can turn the tables.

Last start ran last of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 11 len behind Lucky Sweynesse with 58kg at $19. The start before that second last of 10 at this track in the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup on February 22 over 1400m, 9 len behind Ka Ying Rising carrying 57kg at $149. Caused an upset in this race last year and it'd be a surprise if he was able to repeat the dose this year.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 3 len behind Lucky Sweynesse carrying 56kg at $10.

Has been racing well. Watch for him flying late in the race.

When resuming last campaign 6th of 15 at Randwick Russell Balding on November 1 over 1300m, slow going 5.5 len behind Jimmysstar with 57.5kg at $26. Strong win in the UAE coming in but this looks tougher again.

Second run back. First-up after five months 7th of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Lucky Sweynesse with 56kg at $34.

Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 at this track Hong Kong Classic Cup on March 1 over 1800m, 1.0 len behind Stormy Grove carrying 57kg at $10. Comes back to the mile after winning the HK Derby and he creates plenty of interest.

Last start 8th of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 4 len behind Lucky Sweynesse with 56kg at $19. The start before that 7th of 10 at this track in the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup on February 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Ka Ying Rising with 57kg at $185. Not here.

At the latest run faded in the straight 6th of 14 at this track in the G2 Chairman's Trophy on April 6 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Lucky Sweynesse with 56kg at $28. The run before that 5th of 7 at this track in the G3 Centenary Vase on February 8 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Numbers carrying 60kg at $6.20. Prefer to see in something easier.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation couldn't go on with it; 6th of 10 at this track in the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup on February 22 over 1400m, 6 len behind Ka Ying Rising carrying 57kg at $216. When resuming last campaign 8th of 12 at this track Rating 80+ on September 7 over 1200m, 5 len behind Ka Ying Rising with 53kg at $81. Likely to find this out of reach.
