Four weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over 1200m at Happy Valley, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before making a move in the middle stages and chasing Last Kingdom. Returning to Sha Tin over 1200m last start, he has a one-pound weight reduction for this race and drawn an outside barrier, requiring a hold-up strategy. However, his finishing kick wasn’t strong enough against rivals, leaving him in a less favorable position. Despite this, having shown good form over this distance previously and with comparable times within the group, he may contend for a place.
