HARMONY N BLESSED

A month ago, this horse ran disappointingly over Sha Tin 1200m, slow to jump and settling towards the back with a steady pace but no strong finish, finishing fourth. Returning from a break, it will now race at Happy Valley over a short distance for the first time. It needs to carry an additional 18 pounds this time. Although it has four wins from twenty races over this course, the competition is relatively close. Drawing a good barrier gives it a chance to lead. Ellis Wong takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities; however, the overall situation isn't ideal and trainer-jockey rapport is lacking. The hope is for a place.
