Hong Kong Sha Tin - Race 5

CIRRUS SPEED (12) earns top billing after scoring first-up at this track, beating Falcon Hunter by a length in C5 company. The rise to C4 is the obvious new task, but he gets in with weight relief and profiles nicely up in grade. Can find the front and will take catching with no weight on his back. WOLF COMING (2) is the major danger after being beaten only a neck by Kol when held up until the 1 ¼f. Rates highly on the back of that effort and has to come into calculations. SMILING SKY (6) was big odds in the same race yet finished fifth, beaten just over a length, which was a sharp improvement on his debut run at the end of last saeason. Can sit handy from the outset again and put his best foot forward. HAPPY SPECIAL (4) also comes through that Kol race, finishing fourth after being headed late, and his second-start improvement under Atzeni gives him a genuine chance to keep building.
