Sha Tin Race 5

The Hong Kong Reunification Cup (C2)

Prize Money: $563,492

The feature of the day now and it's hard to go past LIGHT YEARS CHARM (4) who was outstanding here 23 days ago. He settled out the back, but rounded up his rivals with ease as the $1.70 favourite and ran away to score by 1.5L. He's up in weight, but he looks to have plenty of class and he can go on with the job. BRILLIANT EXPRESS (11) missed by 1L as favourite last start after taking the lead midway down the straight. He felt the pinch late after racing wide and without cover throughout, but he turned in a strong figure and the form out of the race has held up. Can make his presence felt with a touch of luck. TOURBILLON PRINCE (9) won a good form race 31 days ago over the mile here and now drops in trip. He is a three-time winner at 1400m however and he drops 6kg for the rise in grade. Can play a role. SOLEIL FIGHTER (5) is knocking on the door of another win and can feature as the Blinkers go on for the first time.

Most recently got back early 7th of 9 at this track in the G3 Premier Cup on June 22 over 1400m, 3 len behind Copartner Prance with 54.5kg at $37. The run before that ran last of 10 at this track on April 27 over 1400m, 15 len behind Invincible Shield carrying 61kg at $29. Not keen on his chances.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 8 at this track on June 8 over 1400m, 2 len behind Light Years Charm with 61kg at $17. Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at this track on May 25 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Packing Hermod carrying 60.5kg at $10. Worth plenty of thought.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.5 len at this track June 8 over 1400m defeating Dancing Code with 55kg at $1.70. The start before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track May 10 over 1400m defeating Juneau Pride carrying 61kg at $1.50. Top chance to salute again.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Happy Valley on June 11 over 1650m, 0.8 len behind Hong Lok Golf with 57.5kg at $3.50. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 13 at Sha Tin All Weather on May 31 over 1650m, neck behind Talents Ambition with 56kg at $7.30. Shapes as a key runner.
