FORTUNE STAR

Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over Sha Tin 1200m, despite a slow start and settling towards the back of the field. It finished with fast closing sections but was beaten three and a half lengths for fifth. Now stepping up to Sha Tin 1400m, it will carry an additional two pounds. The tactics are expected to be hold-up again, relying on a strong finishing kick which is considered one of its strengths in the field. With a good rapport between horse, jockey and trainer, and despite the distance increase potentially being unfavorable, drawing an outside barrier offers some hope for a competitive run.
