Two weeks ago, this horse performed well in a straight course race, jumping moderately and settling towards the back with a consistent pace before making a late surge under pressure. Switching to Sha Tin over 1600m for the first time at this distance, it will carry four pounds less this time – a suitable condition. The tactics are expected to be holding back and relying on a strong finishing kick which should make him a contender in this group; despite drawing an unfavorable outside barrier, an upset is possible.
