Two weeks ago, this horse ran impressively over a Sha Tin 1800m distance, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run with fast sectionals. He finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths. Now stepping up in class to race over a Sha Tin 2400m for the first time, he carries no additional weight but the distance is not considered ideal. The trainer-jockey combination isn’t seen as strong. Despite drawing a favorable barrier with potential for an easy lead, a change to Alexis Badel suggests they are primarily assessing the horse's suitability before committing fully.
