Happy Valley Race 8

Yue Man Hcp (C3)

Prize Money: $423,554

SOLEIL FIGHTER (4) is hard to knock on recent efforts, going under in a photo finish here 21 days ago when the race favourite. He now gets Purton in the irons from a good barrier and he should get every chance. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks the one to beat. GLORIOUS JOURNEY (11) finished behind SOLEIL FIGHTER most recently at this track and trip, but that signalled a return to his best form was near. He'll need a touch of luck from the sticky gate, but if he gets the breaks he can play a major role in the finish. I CAN (3) failed last start here when rolling forward from a wide draw, fading out of contention late in the race. His form prior was much better and he draws an inside gate today. Can land on the speed and take catching. COMET SPLENDIDO (12) is going well and should be in the finish.

Useful gelding. Last start from last on the turn 6th of 12 at this track on January 22 over 1800m, 3 len behind Star Mac carrying 60.5kg at $15. The race before that ran last of 12 at this track in the G3 January Cup on January 8 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Helene Feeling with 52kg at $10. Better than recent form suggests and worth including.

Useful gelding. At the latest run struggled in the run home; ran last of 12 at this track on January 15 over 1650m, 7 len behind Definitive carrying 58.5kg at $13. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track December 11 over 1650m defeating Ivy League carrying 56kg at $7.70. Good enough on his day and deserves another chance.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 14 at Sha Tin on January 12 over 1600m, 3 len behind Embraces with 55kg at $47. Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at this track on December 11 over 1650m, head behind I Can with 55kg at $12. Expect he will make amends.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on December 11 over 1650m, 0.5 len behind I Can carrying 55.5kg at $9.70. Second-up 7th of 12 at this track on January 15 over 1650m, 2.5 len behind Definitive with 55kg at $21. Rates highly and is in the mix.

Second run back. Comes off a 59-day let-up. First-up after eight months second last of 14 at Sha Tin on December 8 over 1200m, 7 len behind Divano carrying 54.5kg at $174. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Arawa Park April 17 over 1400m in soft going defeating Secret Life carrying 58kg at $16.80. Fitter now and is a second-up winner in the past but this looks too tough.
