Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1800m distance, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making late headway with strong sections. He finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths. Now stepping up in class to tackle a Sha Tin 2400m race for the first time, he will carry an additional two pounds. The increased distance is not ideal; a hold-up tactic is expected but finishing kick may be insufficient against stronger opponents, making his chances questionable at this stage and considered as a trial run.
