LA CITY BLANCHE

Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1600m race, jumping slowly and settling towards the back with a steady pace but lacking any impressive sections, resulting in a significant defeat. After a class drop, it trialed again over a Sha Tin 1800m distance. This time, needing to carry an additional twelve pounds, its rivals appear stronger and it will likely be held up. However, its finishing kick is not competitive with the opposition, putting it at a disadvantage even with a favorable inside draw. Though showing increased gate speed, it's expected to finish towards the rear.
