Sha Tin Race 4 - Orchid Hcp (C2)
STELLAR EXPRESS (3) bolted in to win the G3 Bauhinia Sprint over this track and trip last time out. He's won three trials in fine style since and the weight change today doesn't outweigh the big margin he put on them last start. Can fire across and lead all the way once again. COLOURFUL KING (2) flew home to win two back before closing strongly over this track and trip behind STELLAR EXPRESS. He jumped an odds-on favourite there ahead of STELLAR EXPRESS which is worth noting. Nice trial between runs and Purton sticks with him. Wouldn't surprise if he can turn the tables. MAGIC CONTROL (4) prefers this track and trip and usually performs best here. His record at the track and trip is solid and he can turn in an impressive effort. INVINCIBLE SAGE (1) is next best.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 49 day let-up. Most recently settled towards the rear 2nd of 11 at this track in the G3 Bauhinia Sprint Trophy on January 4 over 1000m, 3 len behind Stellar Express with 56kg at $1.80. The run before that favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.5 len at this track November 30 over 1000m defeating Crimson Flash with 54kg at $3.80. Key runner and should be in the finish.

At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at this track on February 1 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Patch Of Theta with 52.5kg at $3.80. Before that eased back early on 10th of 14 at this track on January 11 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Little Paradise with 56.5kg at $14. Can't tip with much confidence.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 12 at Happy Valley on January 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Storm Rider with 54.5kg at $26. The start before that ran last of 14 at this track on November 30 over 1000m, 8 len behind Colourful King carrying 53kg at $40. Will need to do a bit more.
