Sha Tin Race 4 - Lau Fau Shan Hcp (C3)
BUSTLING CITY (2) is the one to beat after a dominant win at this track two weeks ago, when he drew right away from Speedy Smartie as a short odds-on favourite. He is unbeaten in two starts on this surface and with things to suit once again, he can extend his winning streak. LUCY IN THE SKY (1) is the main danger on current form, backing up quickly after a third at Sha Tin and bringing a solid 1200m record. Only raced on the All Weather once, but his racing pattern suggests it's not an issue and he can give a bold sight. KEMPES (8) rises from a C4 win but gets meaningful weight relief as he rises in grade. Needs a touch of luck from the draw, but he's good enough if the breaks come. TOGETHER WE VALUE (7) resumes with honest enough recent margins from last campaign and can be competitive for a minor end if he returns in order.

Backs up after finishing third at Sha Tin last week, beaten a length by Bunta Baby despite starting among the outsiders. That followed a well-supported win over Chill Buddy, where he quickened early in the straight and put the race away decisively. Proven at 1200m and the claim keeps him firmly in the winning mix.

Dominant first-up at this track, winning by seven lengths as a short odds-on favourite after putting the race away before the straight. He had also won a Class 4 at this venue by four and a half lengths the start prior, so his all-weather form is compelling. An exciting gelding on the rise and there's no reason why he can't keep the ball rolling.

Led at Happy Valley first-up but faded late to finish tenth, beaten just under six lengths, and there was no obvious excuse. The run before his break was a nose win over 1000m, so he is capable when allowed to control his race. Place claims rather than a strong win profile.

Resumes after four months off following a plain end to last campaign, finishing tenth at this track and beaten over 10 lengths when left behind in the straight. His previous third at this venue had more merit after racing wide without cover, and his six wins at this track and distance are a genuine positive.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 11th at Sha Tin, beaten over 11 lengths, when unwanted in the market and fading after settling midfield. Two back he made some late ground when also 11th but only beaten two and a half lengths. The 1200m record is useful, but recent form leaves plenty to prove.

Resumes after four months off, having ended last campaign with an eighth at Sha Tin when beaten just under two lengths and kept safe near the top of an open market. He had earlier been favourite at Happy Valley but could only finish sixth behind Sky Cap. Close enough in recent margins to be a genuine place hope.

Finished off strongly to win a Class 4 at Sha Tin last start, scoring by just under a length over Noble Superior after being held up early in the straight. He rises in grade now, but drops from 61kg to 55kg and his 1200m record is a major asset. Strong 1200m record makes him a live winning chance.

Returns from an eight-month spell after winning a 3yo Maiden at Doomben by a long neck on soft ground, having been at generous odds. His Ipswich fourth prior was sound enough, beaten a length and a half, but this is a different assignment and blinkers come off. New setup is interesting, but his 1200m record makes this a stern task.

Was second last at Sha Tin first-up, beaten over 12 lengths by Aeroinvincible after being unwanted in the market and making no late impression. His previous sixth behind Smart Avenue was more competitive, beaten three lengths, but that was last year. Unplaced at 1200m and others bring far stronger recent claims.
