Capital Delight To Make A Point
The Straits Times|January 04, 2025
1 Country Dancer ticks plenty of boxes, backing up quickly and stepping up in trip. He impressed two starts ago with a breakthrough win before producing a fast-finishing second down the 1,000m Sha Tin straight.
Capital Delight To Make A Point

RACE 1 (1,200M)

4 Speedy Fortune gets more favourable conditions switching to this course and distance, and his form has been strong since joining the David Eustace stable.

3 Silver Destiny can improve on his second attempt in Class 5, reverting to turf, while barrier 1 and Zac Purton aboard are major positives for this Dennis Yip-trained runner.

5 Same To You, despite drawing barrier 11, should press forward to race prominently and was not far off Country Dancer the last time they met.

RACE 2 (1,000M)

6 Circuit Jolly gets another chance to break through for his first win after narrowly going down last time in a race that has produced solid subsequent form. In an open contest with many chances, a mid-draw for the straight track should provide every opportunity.

2 Alluring Laos impressed with a smart debut win, hinting at further upside. However, his trial between runs was just fair after a slow start, so it will be interesting to see if he jumps cleanly second-up.

9 Club Ace ran a promising third on debut for the John Size stable over this distance at Happy Valley and can be expected to take another step forward, as many from the yard often do.

5 Enjoy Golf has stronger form over longer trips but returns first-up after a solid trial and looks poised to sprint well fresh.

RACE 3 (1,650M)

3 Capital Delight has had one attempt at this course and distance, four starts ago, where he appeared no match for Sword Point on paper. However, he was held up for a portion of the straight and never got a proper chance to challenge.

1 Sword Point returns to the scene of his dominant win three starts back, which came on his first all-weather attempt. While he capitalised on a slow pace that day, the small field should produce a moderate tempo, which again suits his style.
