Races PRX Sha Tin - HK

Naas 1m handicap scorer who has struggled in five starts since arriving in Hong Kong; this drop to Class 4 will help, as may application of a hood, but still has plenty to find; positive jockey booking.,

Slightly disappointing beaten favourite (as short as 13-10) when fifth last time; placed over this C&D on all three previous starts so looks worthy of another chance.,

Regressive 7yo on a 20-race losing streak; slightly better run last time and won off much higher marks in his pomp; could be freshened by a 12-week break and did win a recent trial.,

Has lop-sided profile; two 7f victories and no other top-six finishes in 11 career starts; this second attempt at 1m is not sure to suit and has wide draw to overcome.,

Has stayed on well late (not clear run last time) in just two career starts, both over 7f; today's extra furlong should be to his taste and has plenty of scope for improvement.,

Ran well when 1.25l fourth over C&D on New Year's Day; two lesser efforts since (unsuited by dirt last time); is slipping back down to a reasonable mark so might sneak a place.,

Has finished among the backmarkers in all four starts to date (over 6f and 7f); needs this extra distance and application of both ear plugs and a tongue-tie to bring about a transformation.,

Ended a 27-race barren spell when running out a comfortable 1.5l C&D scorer three weeks ago; 6lb rise is weights negated by jockey's 7lb claims; won off much higher marks in 2021-22.,

Half-brother to six winners who did not leap out as a likely winner in the near future when 6.25l ninth as a 97-1 outsider over 7f here on his career debut three weeks ago.,

Yet to show any significant promise after five starts (6f-11mf) and is seemingly making a beeline for Class 5.,

Landed back to back 1m1f and 1m3f contests from the front in November; less aggressively ridden and showed surprising pace when touched off over 7f last time; another big run expected here.,

Yet to win in six attempts but has shown ability, including when weakening late into 2.5l sixth over C&D last time; down another 2lb and the addition of blinkers could be significant.,

Continued his steady improvement when keeping on into third over 7f three weeks ago to achieve his best finish in seven career runs; step up to 1m could suit; one for the shortlist.,

Still searching for his first success after 12 attempts; twice second over 7f here this season; now apprentice-ridden but this trip could prove a shade too far.,
