ARDEN

Four weeks ago, this horse ran disappointingly over 1200m on dirt, slow to jump and settling towards the rear. It showed some acceleration in the middle stages but failed to sustain it to the finish, finishing well-beaten. Now switching to a Sha Tin turf track over 1400m for its first attempt at this distance, with a one-pound weight reduction, connections believe the course is unsuitable and recommend observing its next run before making a judgment.
