March 2 Hong Kong (Sha Tin) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,000M)

9 Justifying will likely be all the rage on debut for Caspar Fownes after impressing in two local trials, as well as one in Australia and a jump-out. He looks well-placed to kick off his career in winning style.

1 Grand Nova takes a second shot back in Class 4. He closed in nicely for fourth over this trip at Happy Valley. Warrants respect.

8 Jumbo Treasure was in need of the run on debut, racing greenly after early interference but still finishing a respectable fifth. He can take a step forward second-up.

3 Summit Cheers was unsuited over 1,200m last time, but he is much better suited returning to this course and distance.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

8 Ho Ho Star aims for back-to-back wins and looks well-placed to do so, after putting a few luckless runs behind him to break through in stylish fashion last time.

11 The Concentration showed a return to form last time when a closing fifth behind Ho Ho Star. His only career win came when up on the pace.

5 Speedy Smartie is edging closer to another win since a third on his third attempt in Class 5 last time.

7 Flying Phantom has yet to get off the mark but has dropped to a low rating and has produced encouraging efforts.

RACE 3 (1,650M)

5 Fighting Machine charged home for second behind Never Peter Out last start after stepping away from another wide draw. Much will depend on speedmap.
