Two weeks ago, this horse ran at Sha Tin over 1200m with a moderate performance, tracking the leaders and making a move in the middle stages but fading towards the finish. Returning to Happy Valley over 1200m this time with a three-pound weight reduction, it has shown past form over this distance and good times relative to its competition. With a favorable barrier draw, it possesses a higher level of ability compared to other contenders, showing consistent improvement in condition. Despite needing to be held up in this race, its finishing kick isn’t as strong as its rivals, leaving its chances looking somewhat unfavorable overall.
