Sha Tin Race 9

Tvb Midlife, Sing & Shine Hcp (C3)

Prize Money: $340,037

CITY GOLD BANNER (2) was far too good in his Hong Kong debut, settling back but running over the top of his rivals to win impressively. He's won a trial since that effort 27 days ago and this looks to shape similarly with Purton remaining in the saddle. He can continue his winning run. SIGHT HERMOSO (4) missed as the $2.60 favourite here last time out, closing strongly to be 0.5L off the winner. Drawing wider suits for the straight course and Avdulla knows him well. Can sit a little closer this time around a forward showing is on the cards. PI LEGEND (11) will appreciate drawing out wide down the straight course after a solid performance at Happy Valley last time out. Can sit up on the pace out wide and his best form will see him hard to run down. SPARKLING FELLOW (12) just missed last time out in a photo finish and he drops a stack of weight as he rises in grade. Watch for him flashing late.

Last start sat on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Happy Valley on February 4 over 1000m, 4 len behind Candlelight Dinner carrying 56.5kg at $6.10. The start before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 12 at Happy Valley on January 7 over 1000m, 3 len behind Love Together carrying 55kg at $11. Has ability and is worth including in the multiples.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at this track on January 18 over 1000m, 7 len behind City Gold Banner with 55.5kg at $20. The race before that got back early 7th of 12 at Happy Valley on December 17 over 1000m, 4 len behind Candlelight Dinner with 56kg at $16. Doubt he can reverse that outcome.

Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 14 at this track on January 18 over 1200m, 3 len behind Pegas carrying 56kg at $6.10. Terrific chance to return to form.

Most recently did the work up front then tired 7th of 11 at Happy Valley on February 4 over 1000m, 3 len behind Candlelight Dinner with 53kg at $13. Before that didn't do much in the run home; second last of 12 at Sha Tin All Weather on January 21 over 1200m, 11 len behind Blazing Wind carrying 56kg at $12. Not keen on his chances.

Comments
Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at this track December 20 over 1000m defeating Spicy Speedy carrying 57.5kg at $4.10. Second-up raced on the pace before fading 11th of 13 at this track on January 4 over 1000m, 10 len behind Sight Hermoso with 61kg at $2.20. Has ability and can turn things around.
