LUCKY SAM GOR

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin 1400m, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before making a strong move in the middle stages, covering the final two sections well with good stamina. He finished seventh, beaten two and a half lengths. Now debuting at Happy Valley mile with a two-pound weight reduction and an advantageous barrier draw, the tactics will be to settle back and rely on a strong finishing kick – considered the best in the field. Horse, jockey, and trainer are working well together; despite the distance not being ideal, the horse appears full of running.
