Happy Valley Race 4 - Jackson Hcp (C2)
STELLAR EXPRESS (7) posted an overdue win in a similar field at Sha Tin a month ago and makes his Happy Valley debut. He has won a further 2 trials since that win and with half-a-kilo less to carry, he will be hard to hold out again. BOTTOMUPTOGETHER (6) set a strong clip in front at Sha Tin last time out and finished a brave third. The drop back from 1200m to 1000m will suit and he can take them all the way this time. WHIZZ KID (2) won a trial before running third in G3 company at Sha Tin a fortnight ago. He has a good record here over the trip and can figure in the top 3 this time. BRAVE STAR (5) resumes from a spell with a recent trial placing under his belt. He is better over 1200m but will be steaming home late and can have the last say with a likely hot pace being set in this contest.

Useful gelding. At the latest run 4th in a small field at Sha Tin in the G3 Bauhinia Sprint Trophy on January 1 over 1000m, 3 len behind Howdeepisyourlove with 55.5kg at $18. The race before that ran last of 12 at Sha Tin All Weather on December 1 over 1200m, 11 len behind Sing Dragon carrying 59.5kg at $48. Made headway last time. Easy to like.

Racing well. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on December 11 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Atomic Force carrying 61kg at $4.10. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at this track on November 27 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Healthy Healthy with 60.5kg at $34. Went close last time. Should run well.
