HE WAS ME

Seven days ago, this horse ran a decent race over Sha Tin 1400m, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before making a move in the middle stages with a strong finishing effort. Racing again within two weeks, now trying Sha Tin 1600m, he needs to carry four pounds more this time. This distance is unfavorable and the trainer-jockey combination isn’t ideal. Although capable of securing a good position tracking the leaders and drawing an inside barrier, Matthew Poon has been engaged as jockey who understands the horse's temperament well; it’s best to see how he performs in this race first.
