Three weeks ago, over a Sha Tin 1400m, the performance was below expectations. The horse tracked the leaders but lacked a strong mid-race acceleration, finishing only beaten three and a half lengths for seventh place. A subsequent turf trial over 1200m showed improvement; this time he carries no additional weight. He has performed well at this distance previously with comparable times to his rivals and has drawn a favorable barrier allowing him an opportunity to lead. His finishing kick is strong within the field, presenting a positive race shape. Compared to other horses in the race, his ability stands out as superior. The jockey understands how to ride the horse and there’s good communication between trainer and rider; he's been doing well in gate work leading up to the race and appears fit. A clean jump is crucial for him to establish an early lead.
