Following a disappointing run over 1800m at Happy Valley last start, where a slow break contributed to being held up in the field before finishing with a strong late surge, this horse showed improvement in a recent trial over 1400m on the Sha Tin turf. Carrying an additional four pounds, it kept pace well within its group and demonstrated solid closing speed – indicating good form. Though drawn wide for its upcoming assignment, connections believe they are beginning to understand the gelding's capabilities. While trainer-jockey synergy isn’t considered ideal, this one is clearly showing promise and has a profile that suggests it holds an edge over many rivals.
