Four weeks ago, this horse ran a satisfactory race over Sha Tin 2000m, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before making a move in the middle stages. Though unable to maintain the effort to the finish, he was beaten by two and a half lengths, finishing fifth. A subsequent trial at Happy Valley over 1800m sees him race with a two-pound weight reduction. With good timing within his group and a favorable barrier draw, conditions are promising. Compared to other contenders, this horse possesses a clear advantage in ability; trainer and jockey have a strong rapport, positioning him as a potential frontrunner.
