Happy Valley Race 8

Nakayama Hcp (C3)

Prize Money: $365,422

BIENVENUE (5) won well two back before a narrow 0.8L defeat after sitting on the speed at his latest try here. Purton remains in the saddle and the form out of that race has been solid. Loves this track and trip and he can bounce back to winning ways despite the rise in trip. NEVER TOO SOON (8) missed narrowly last start when a $10 chance at this track and trip. Atzeni takes the ride now and he is a two-time winner second-up in the past. Can go one better this time with improvement up his sleeve. REGAL GEM (1) beat home NEVER TOO SOON last start in that photo finish and looks a progressive type. Still has some upside and he maps to get all the favours under Leung. Can bring up back-to-back wins. CHEAHA (4) has trialled well coming into this and is a fresh winner in the past. Can feature in his HK debut.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by a nose at this track October 8 over 1200m defeating Never Too Soon with 58kg at $3.70. The run before that 2nd of 12 at this track on September 10 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Storming Dragon carrying 56.5kg at $12. Very smart and should be in the finish again.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 7th of 14 at Sha Tin on October 26 over 1000m, 2 len behind Alpha Strike with 60.5kg at $10. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Sha Tin October 4 over 1000m defeating We Are Hero carrying 52.5kg at $6. One of the chances.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up second last of 11 at this track on September 17 over 1000m, 6 len behind Superb Capitalist carrying 59.5kg at $19. Second run from a spell 6th of 12 at this track on October 8 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Regal Gem with 60kg at $31. Capable enough and should be in the finish.
