FAST NETWORK IS THE WAY TO GO

(6) Gluck Racer returns to Class 5, where he is unbeaten, and benefits from a perfect draw in gate 3. He has trialled nicely between runs, and the booking of Karis Teetan, who was aboard for his previous win in this grade, is likeable.

(7) Hoss caught the eye last time with a strong finish from a wide draw in his first attempt in the cellar grade. Moving into a mid-draw here, he should settle closer and is poised for big improvement.

(9) So Awesome enjoys an ideal run from barrier 2, and his last-start third suggests another Class 5 victory could be on the horizon.

(2) Charmander reunites with Zac Purton and returns to Sha Tin after an unremarkable outing at Happy Valley. Although drawn wide, the long straight to the bend offers Purton time to secure a favourable position.

(2) The Khan shapes as a strong winning contender to end a winless streak for Caspar Fownes after enduring an unlucky run from an outside draw last start. A better barrier this time offers the chance to turn his fortunes around.

(3) Yoda's Choice produced a solid effort dropping back into Class 5 last time, only being caught in the final stride to narrowly miss the win. Purton takes over in the saddle, and from a decent draw on the C+3 course, he should map into a favourable position, making him tough to run down.

(5) Aromatica resumes after a break since early October, having gone close to a win before his spell, and warrants consideration.

(14) Regency Happy Star has been utterly disappointing, but a switch to David Eustace's stable could spark improvement. With pole position, he is set to enjoy a perfect run in transit.
