Sha Tin Race 6 - The Pok Oi Cup (C4)
GALLANT DESIGN (2) sets the standard on exposed form, having closed last campaign with a two-length fourth at this venue after a second to Joyful Joy the start before. His trials coming in have been superb and Purton sticks from his latest heat. Can return with a bang. DRAGON SKY FORCE (3) has only raced once, yet his debut fourth behind Lahore had merit after he stayed on under pressure and he looks the main danger based on his recent trial. Maps for a lovely run and should be right in the finish. NOBLE SUPERIOR (7) brings the sharpest recent run, beaten just under a length by Kempes first-up, and has the right fitness edge to hold that form. LET'S HAVE FUN (12) is race-fit third-up, has closed off in both runs this campaign and gets another chance if he begins cleanly and uses his finish earlier.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with two plain Class 3 runs at this track, most recently eighth behind Pi Legend when beaten just over five lengths at long odds. He also made no late impression behind Mr Incredible the start before and his record at this track and distance is poor. Proven at 1200m, but this track-and-distance record is a major query.

Returns from a lengthy spell with the best exposed form in the race, having finished fourth at this track behind Master Lucky when beaten two lengths after racing near the speed. That followed a solid second to Joyful Joy, and four placings from seven starts at this venue underline his consistency. Still a maiden, but brings the most reliable winning case.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a promising debut fourth at this track, beaten two lengths by Lahore at big odds. He settled rear of midfield and kept working through the line, suggesting there is more to come with race experience. New to 1200m under race conditions, but looks a major danger.

Makes his race debut for a stable that commands respect, with Andrea Atzeni taking the ride and John Size preparing him. The wide barrier does not make the first assignment any easier, and there is no race form to measure against the exposed runners.

Starts his career for Mark Newnham with Lyle Hewitson booked, and that gives him some professional grounding for this debut. The profile is still mostly guesswork without race form, so he has to be assessed against rivals who already have solid Sha Tin performances on the board. Has place appeal, though exposed rivals set a clearer standard.

Makes his debut from barrier two for Pierre Ng, which gives him a reasonable platform to begin his career. There is no race-day evidence to lean on, and the stable debut figures are modest, so a measured assessment is required. Place claims look fair, but race experience is the unknown.

Produced a much better return when second at this track behind Kempes, beaten just under a length at big odds after beginning well and racing forward. He is still lightly raced and that first-up run gives him a strong platform to improve again. Lightly raced, suited at 1200m and has a strong chance to go one better.

Finished seventh first-up at this track behind Happy Shooter, beaten just under three lengths after chasing from midfield and weakening late. The prior run was similar in margin, staying on late behind Lahore when unwanted in betting, and he remains unplaced from three starts.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a flat tenth behind Packing Glory, beaten seven and a half lengths when fading late. His previous third behind Papaya Brose was far stronger, beaten just under a length at big odds, and he has placed twice from four starts at this track and distance. Best form gives him place claims.

Was disappointing as favourite first-up, finishing ninth behind Happy Shooter after racing close to the rail and weakening late. His run prior was a much better second to Green Angel, beaten half a length after leading, and his record at this track and distance is solid. Blinkers on and a place profile.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing 12th behind Packing Fighter, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. He had earlier run sixth behind Meaningful Dragon but was again unwanted in the market, and he is unplaced from six career starts. Barrier one helps, but others bring far stronger form.

Comes here third-up after a fifth at this track behind Flowing Riches, when he was slow away, had plenty to do and kept closing late. He was also third first-up behind Lightness Of Music, so the campaign has more substance than the winless record suggests. A cleaner start would put him right in the winning mix.
