Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 9

CROSSBORDERPEGASUS (2) is back after a break of seven months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. He has a few issues, but trialled up like a winner recently. On top if he is in the right mood. HAPPY INDEX (6) returns from a spell of five-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 6 ¼f at Randwick Kensington. Fitter for a recent trial win at Conghua. Key runner. RISING FORCE (14) is back from a six-and-a-half-month spell and is having his first look at a turf track. Won over 6f at Sha Tin All Weather to open the last campaign, and his lead-up trial form has been very good. Follow the market moves. A TIME FOR US (7) got home too late when making his local debut, finishing fourth. He can be ridden more positively early on here, and he is well worth each-way consideration. SAVVY BRILLIANT (4) will be peaking third up. Worth noting, Zac Purton goes aboard, and a return to form is likely.
