Races PRX Sha Tin - HK

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a ninth at this track over 1600m, beaten just under four lengths after making some progress late. Can return on a positive note.

Was safely held at this track last start, finishing eighth over 1400m and beaten six lengths after being dropped out from the widest draw and lacking the speed to get into the race. His fourth in Class 2 at Happy Valley two back reads better on grade, though it was still a non-threatening effort at big odds. Minor claims only if he lifts.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a strong turnaround win at this track over 2000m, leading and beating Enthusium by just under a length at long odds. That followed a plain 12th behind Mighty Strength, so he can mix his form, but four wins from 12 starts is a genuine profile. If that form holds, he is a genuine danger.

Returns from a three-month break after a useful third in Class 2 at Happy Valley, beaten three lengths at big odds and making ground without threatening. The run prior on the all-weather was poor, though he did have to steady midrace and never recovered. Has to bring that Happy Valley form across.

Second-up after a sound fourth at this track over 1400m, beaten just under two lengths when making ground without quite threatening. He had also been close over 1600m at this venue in July, so the recent form has substance. Close in both recent runs at this venue and gets Zac Purton aboard.

Returns from a four-month break after closing last campaign with a seventh behind Call Me Magnifique at this track, beaten just over two lengths when working home evenly.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing seventh at this track over 1400m, beaten four lengths when making late ground but never looking likely. His third here two starts back showed he can run into a race, and two wins and two placings from seven starts suggest the profile has scope. Profiles as a place chance if he sees it out.

Comes back quickly after a fifth at this track over 1600m, beaten seven and a half lengths after travelling smoothly into the straight but failing to go on. His first-up seventh behind Nyx Gluck was more competitive, and he is fitter now third-up with a strong record alongside Alex Badel. First go at 1800m is the sticking point.

Produced a solid fresh run at Happy Valley, finishing third over 1650m and beaten just over a length after settling back in a race where he was respected in the market. Two back at this track he had no daylight early in the straight before finishing eighth, beaten just under four lengths. With Vincent Ho staying aboard, he has strong claims.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a Class 4 win at this track, scoring by a neck from Smart Fat Cat at big odds after circling into the race. His previous all-weather run was poor, but he is an experienced 1800m performer with three wins and five placings from 17 tries. Place claims if the eight-year-old returns in similar order.

Was unwanted in betting and beaten eight lengths when tenth first-up at Happy Valley, making no impression late after settling midfield. He had also been well held at this track before the break, finishing 11th after finding clear running but failing to progress. Others present stronger cases.
