GALLANT EPOCHFour weeks ago, this horse finished second in a Sha Tin 1400m race, settling well and tracking the pace with a steady speed but lacking a strong finishing burst. He lost by half a length in a close finish and demonstrated a high level of performance. Now stepping back to Happy Valley over a mile with no additional weight, the distance appears suitable. The horse has the potential for an early lead, draws a favorable barrier, possesses a strong finishing kick within its group, and is in good form. Compared to other contenders, it holds a relative advantage in ability. The jockey understands the horse’s weaknesses, and trainer-jockey relationship is solid; a clean break and commitment to leading should see it finish among the frontrunners.
