Five weeks ago, over Sha Tin 1200m, this horse managed to secure a placing while tracking the leader, maintaining a steady pace but lacking in strong momentum, finishing third beaten two and a half lengths. The horse has since dropped twenty pounds in body weight and recently trialled on the Sha Tin turf over 1400m. This time carrying a seven-pound deduction, with four wins from twelve starts at this distance, and drawing a favorable barrier, the conditions are advantageous for an early lead. Considering its relative strength and the strong trainer-jockey relationship, preparation appears thorough; a clean break and commitment to leading should see it challenging for a prominent position.
