RAGING RAPIDS

Two weeks ago, over Sha Tin 1400m, this horse performed poorly, missing the break and settling towards the rear. He made a move in the middle stages, chasing Last Kingdom to finish fourth, beaten one length – a respectable showing. Now stepping up to Sha Tin 1600m with a one-pound increase in weight, the distance extension is expected to suit. The horse is likely to be held back and rely on a strong finishing kick, potentially the strongest in its class. It appears to be a leading contender in this race, with Ben Thompson taking the ride; both jockey and trainer are considered a good fit, signaling a clear intention to compete."
