Happy Valley Race 2 - Foshan Hcp (C4)

LUCK IS BACK (9) is the one to beat after going under by only a head at this track last start when sent out favourite. His previous fourth behind Sunday's Serenade was sound and he has the recent consistency to justify top billing. EXCEED THE LIMIT (1) was also beaten a neck here last start and rates strongly on recent form, with his late work suggesting he is close to another win despite carrying the top weight. VERMILION TEMPEST (8) was within a length at this venue after being bumped and has Caspar Fownes' strong track profile in his corner, but seven previous starts around 1650m without a placing keeps the query alive. FLYING BOOM (5) brings the best last-start Sha Tin closing effort, beaten half a length by Jolly Brilliant, and his one win and three placings from seven starts at the distance make him a genuine danger if he handles this venue first time.

Comments

Went close at this track last start, staying on from the rear for third behind Shooting To Top and beaten a neck after being an outside chance in the betting. His previous sixth behind Sunday's Serenade was plain enough, though he had raced keenly before finishing one-paced. Top weight and a place-heavy 1650m record are the queries, but he is right in this.

Comments

Built neatly second-up when third at this track behind Sunday's Serenade, beaten just under two lengths after travelling smoothly and making steady ground late. That was a better result than his eighth behind Happy Smile, when he worked home evenly after early buffeting. The 1650m win gap remains the query, but he has enough form to run into a placing.

Comments

Finished fifth at this track over 1200m last start, beaten just over three lengths, after hanging in yet still making good late ground. He had run third at this venue the start prior at big odds, again showing some finish after racing greenly. First try around 1650m is the test, but barrier three and the claim keep him in play for a place.

Comments

Has been safely held in two runs this campaign, finishing sixth at this track last start when beaten just over four lengths after settling rearward and never threatening. His eighth behind Mighty Steed prior was also plain. The positive is clear enough: three wins and twelve places from 30 starts at this track and distance, plus Luke Ferraris back aboard. A return to his best would be competitive; current form is the concern.

Closed strongly at Sha Tin last start when second to Jolly Brilliant, beaten half a length after settling midfield at generous odds. That followed a third behind Luck Is Back, beaten just over a length, so his two runs this campaign stack up well. He is proven at the distance with one win and three placings from seven tries, and Matthew Poon has won on him before. First try at this venue is the query, but his closing form makes him a real threat.

Has not fired in two runs back, most recently seventh at this track behind Turin Champions, beaten four lengths after settling midfield at big odds. He was last behind Absolute Honour before that, left behind from the 200m. Improvement is required to turn that profile into a result.

Returns from a two-month break after a first-up seventh at Sha Tin over 1400m, beaten three lengths, where he worked home evenly without a clear excuse. His previous third in a GRIFFIN over 1200m was sound but still four lengths from Almighty Warrior. He has placed twice from four starts and gets a 1kg claim, though 1650m is new territory. Has two placings from four starts, but the winning case still requires more.

Improved third-up when fourth at this track behind Akermanis Gold, beaten just under a length after being bumped, and that followed a fair seventh behind Happy Smile when he worked home evenly. Caspar Fownes is the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track and the gelding rates well enough on recent form. The concern is his 1650m record: seven previous attempts for no wins or placings. Seven unplaced runs around 1650m temper confidence, but he can win.

Went within a head of winning at this track last start behind Turin Champions, starting favourite and working home evenly after beginning awkwardly. His fourth behind Sunday's Serenade before that was also solid in a competitive market, and he has since beaten Exceed The Limit through a recent head-to-head line. Proven around 1650m and sets the benchmark again.

Returns from a five-month spell after ending last campaign with a 12th at Sha Tin, beaten over 12 lengths, when he could not go on in the straight. His seventh to Papaya Brose before that had a little late ground made, but he was still at long odds and has yet to place from three starts.

Was well held first-up at this track over 1200m, finishing tenth behind Kwai Chung Talents and beaten seven and a half lengths after settling near the rear. His previous fifth behind Winning Champion was more competitive, beaten two lengths, but came at big odds and he has not raced around 1650m before. A previous fifth gives minor hope, but he is hard to push.

Finished eighth at this track first-up behind New Power, beaten just under four lengths after getting wide into the straight and starting unwanted in the market. He had filled the same position behind Winning Champion before the break, again beaten just under four lengths despite finishing off from the rear. The new 1650m assignment asks another question.
