Sha Tin Race 11

Austin Hcp (C3)

Stake: $405,000

THE BOOM BOX (2) won his first 3 starts on the bounce and has finished third in his last couple of starts. He was less than a length from the winner last time out after having a rocky run, and probably should have won that day. Zac Purton is back in the saddle, and with a clearer run during the middle stages, he can set the record straight. Follow your money. BRILLIANT EXPRESS (1) was a tough winner against a similar field, which included the top pick, last time out, despite having a wide trip. He has been back to the trials since then and only needs some luck from a wide gate to be hard to hold out again. SUPER INFINITY (7) gets another chance over 1400m after finishing runner-up here 2 weeks ago as favourite, a head back from the winner. He is likely to race a lot handier to the pace this time and will be peaking his fitness third up. Stick with him. Each way. POPE CODY (4) had a torrid trip fresh up in his first local start and understandably faded out of it late. Don't drop him.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by a neck at this track April 6 over 1400m defeating Eighty Light Years carrying 61kg at $2.60. The run before that 4th of 14 at this track on March 9 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Patch Of Cosmo with 58.5kg at $5.10. Very smart and is a leading player again.

Useful type. Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently raced on the pace before fading 9th of 14 at this track on March 9 over 1600m, 5 len behind Patch Of Cosmo carrying 57.5kg at $36. The start before that did the work up front then tired 9th of 14 at this track on February 16 over 1600m, 5 len behind Sky Heart with 58.5kg at $12. Worth including.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after six months 10th of 13 at this track on March 23 over 1400m, 9 len behind Endeared with 59.5kg at $31. Previously second-up scored a big 5.5 len win at Eagle Farm 3yo Hcp September 14 over 1400m in soft going defeating Mine Kart Carnage carrying 57.5kg at $3.50. Winning claims if anywhere near his best.

Second-up. First-up after eight months 8th of 13 at this track on April 6 over 1200m, 5 len behind Geneva with 55.5kg at $11. Previously second-up 10th of 22 at Ascot in the G2 Coventry Stakes on June 18 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Rashabar carrying 58.5kg at $81. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at this track on March 30 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Another World carrying 55.5kg at $12. Before that 5th of 14 at this track on February 23 over 1400m, 5 len behind Brilliant Express carrying 56.5kg at $4.90. Among the better chances.

First-up. Finished off last preparation when last of 14 at this track February 23 over 1400m, 18 len behind Brilliant Express with 56.5kg at $171. When resuming last campaign second last of 14 at this track February 9 over 1400m, 18 len behind Winning Gold carrying 56kg at $122. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Most recently second last of 14 at this track on April 6 over 1600m, 12 len behind Sky Jewellery with 51.5kg at $31. The start before that eased back early on 10th of 14 at this track on February 23 over 1400m, 6 len behind Juneau Pride with 53.5kg at $22. Hard to recommended.
