Four weeks ago, over Sha Tin 1400m, the performance was reasonable despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It made progress in the middle stages with a strong run but was ultimately beaten three and a half lengths for seventh place. Another turf trial over 1600m followed, and this time will carry one pound more weight. The plan is to settle towards the rear again, however, the finishing kick wasn’t as strong as its rivals; the form isn't ideal but it has a comparable time in the same group and drawn an advantageous inside barrier, so should not be dismissed.
