Sha Tin Race 7 - Tai Tong Hcp (C2)
SWIFT ASCEND (9) is looking for the hat-trick as he continues to work through the grades, winning impressively at this track and trip last time out. He drops plenty of weight today and profiles like many a C2 winner. Maps to get every chance and can win again. WUNDERBAR (4) was trending nicely prior to a disappointing effort last time out, though he was caught wide throughout the event. Purton remains in the saddle and he drops in weight today. Maps for a kinder run and can get back to his best form. FLYING ACE (2) comes through the Group races and looks nicely placed back to a C2. His racing pattern is always a niggle, but these horses aren't as fast as the ones he's been racing and he can be storming over the top of them late. JAMES TAK (8) will appreciate getting back up to this distance and he drops plenty of weight. Can bounce back.

Comes here off a 49-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the pace before fading second last of 12 at this track in the G2 Jockey Club Sprint on November 17 over 1200m, 9 len behind Ka Ying Rising carrying 56kg at $113. The start before that won by a nose at Happy Valley October 27 over 1200m defeating Lucky Encounter with 61kg at $4.90. Going well but prepared to risk this time.
