Happy Valley Race 7 - Sweet Orange Hcp (C3)

PRESTIGE GOOD (8) was in hot form before striking a rain affected track here last start and disappointing as the race favourite. He's since turned in a quiet trial and returns to this track and trip where he was impressive prior. Can bounce back to winning form. HIGHLAND RAHY (6) was caught late last start, coming through the same race as PRESTIGE GOOD. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now and while he has drawn out, he'll be able to roll across from out wide. Comes into this on the fresh side and can go one better this time around. SAMARKAND (11) has been around the mark in recent performances and has turned in a nice trial recently up at Conghua. Needs some luck from the barrier, but has the figures behind him to suggest he can play a leading role. PRESTIGE ALWAYS (7) just missed last start and has to be included on the back of that effort.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 12 at this track on June 11 over 1650m, neck behind Definitive with 57.5kg at $13. The start before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 12 at this track on May 21 over 1650m, 1.5 len behind Embraces carrying 57kg at $27. Should be right about the mark again.
