Two weeks ago, this horse ran a decent race over a Happy Valley sprint, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before showing a strong late run. Returning to racing on the Sha Tin straight course, he benefits from a five-pound weight reduction in this race. With five wins from twenty starts at this distance and an advantageous barrier draw, the plan is to settle him back in the field and rely on his finishing kick – which remains one of the strongest in the group. Despite potentially unfavorable sectionals, the horse appears full of confidence.
