Moments In Time All Set To Win

Feb 5 Hong Kong (Happy Valley) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,650M)

2 Super Baby is the likely leader and warrants plenty of respect on his Class 5 debut, especially with Zac Purton aboard and barrier 3. Unless he is taken on too early, he should prove tough to reel in.

1 Smashing Express is knocking on the door after several encouraging efforts in this grade. Although drawn wide, his form is strong enough to see him figure.

4 Confringo made his first attempt in Class 5 last start, running on well for sixth after copping a severe check at the 500m. That effort suggested he has more to offer.

8 Podium is thriving under David Eustace, having won once from five starts. His narrow second over this course and distance last time puts him in the mix again.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

3 Inno Century was not disgraced on debut after drawing barrier 11 over 1,000m at Sha Tin, rolling forward before fading late into eighth. He should improve and is favoured from barrier 2, where he can have a kinder run in transit.

9 Super Sixty is on the verge of a breakthrough win, with his get-back style suited by a race that appears to have plenty of early speed.

4 Excellent Peers has not won in 812 days but has shown encouraging signs since dropping back to Class 4, including back-to-back third-placed finishes.

7 Solar River, just a three-year-old, continues to improve with race experience. His narrow defeat last time in the same race as Inno Century reads well.

RACE 3 (1,200M)

1 Sky Jewellery scored a convincing debut win over this course and distance three weeks ago. Trialling well since, he remains in top form and should be on his way to Class 3, though barrier 11 is going to make things interesting.

10 Glory B was caught wide last time when he finished seventh. A better run in transit from barrier 2 can see him improve.
