Happy Valley Race 8 - Gage Hcp (C3)
FORTUNATE SON (1) has earned top billing after stringing together two wins at this venue, most recently beating FIVEFORTWO by just under three lengths over this trip after moving into the race from behind midfield. He is proven at this track and distance, Vincent Ho stays aboard, and the profile of a race-fit runner chasing a hat-trick is compelling. CHINA WIN (9) is the main danger, with two solid runs this campaign and a strong record at around 1800m. Now gets Purton on board who has a strong record when riding. Maps to sit closer and a forward showing is on the cards. FIVEFORTWO (3) was no match for FORTUNATE SON last time, but his overall consistency at this venue and the apprentice claim keep him right in the winning conversation. THE AUSPICIOUS (7) has to turn around a six-length defeat from the same race, though his previous close fourth at this track and proven track-and-distance form give him a realistic platform to improve.

Arrives in winning form after scoring at this track over 1800m last start, beating Fivefortwo by just under three lengths after improving into the race from behind midfield. He had already won over 1650m at this venue from Windlord and now reaches peak fitness third-up. Brings the strongest winning case.

Resumed with a sound third at this track, beaten four lengths by Fortunate Son after beginning well and working home evenly. He was also fourth at Sha Tin before the break when well-supported favourite, so the market has respected him in stronger recent races. Wide draw keeps him to place claims.

Returned with a solid second at this track, beaten just under three lengths by Fortunate Son despite being unwanted in the market. His previous run was a close third over 1650m at this venue, and his record here is reliable, with two wins and four places from nine starts. Apprentice claim helps him stay in the winning mix.

Has finished eighth at both recent runs and offered little first-up at this track when beaten just over six lengths by Fortunate Son after settling midfield. The run prior at Sha Tin Aw was no stronger, beaten eight lengths at big odds. Must lift sharply.

Finished tenth at Sha Tin last start, beaten nine lengths after being pushed wide into the straight, and he was big odds there. His start prior reads a little better on margin, beaten three lengths over 2000m, while his record at this track and distance is strong.

Was sixth at this track first-up, beaten six lengths by Fortunate Son after settling midfield and only beginning fairly. His previous run at this venue was much better, finishing fourth to Le Zonda when beaten just over a length and respected in betting.

Worked home only fairly when eighth at Sha Tin last start, beaten six lengths by Big Return, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. Two back he was third in a Class 2 at this track, beaten three lengths, which is the form line that gives him some hope.

Loomed into the race before finishing fourth at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths by Fortunate Son, and that followed a third behind the same winner over 1650m. He is third-up, proven at this track and distance, and Zac Purton takes the ride. Recent fourth was solid enough to make him the main danger.

Was never a factor from well back when 12th at Sha Tin last start, beaten just over nine lengths at big odds. His run prior was much more competitive, finishing fourth at this track behind Fortunate Son when near the top of betting and finishing strongly. More a place hope than a win play.

Worked home evenly at Sha Tin last start when fifth, beaten a length at long odds, which was a clear step in the right direction within this campaign. The concern is the run prior at this track, where he finished last and was well beaten behind Fortunate Son.

Ran a solid second at Sha Tin last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Big Return after staying on steadily from a rearward position. Before that he won a Class 4 at Sha Tin by a neck from Smart Fat Cat, showing he can still finish a race off. Quick back-up is the query, but he can fill a placing.
