Three weeks ago, this horse ran an acceptable race over a Sha Tin 1400m course. It jumped slowly and settled towards the rear of the field, making a mid-race effort but failing to sustain it to the finish line. He was beaten three and a half lengths, finishing sixth. In a subsequent trial over a Sha Tin 1200m course, he will carry one pound less this time, with a comparable section time. Drawing an outside barrier necessitates a hold-up strategy, however, its finishing kick is considered inferior to rivals making it unlikely to perform well in this race.
