Three weeks ago, this horse ran very impressively over a Sha Tin 1800m race. He jumped slowly and settled towards the rear before making good late ground with strong sectionals, finishing within three and a half lengths of the winner in seventh place. Now stepping up to 2000m at Sha Tin for the first time with a four-pound weight reduction, the distance is expected to suit. He has the potential to track the leaders, and can adopt a forward pace if needed. Drawing an inside barrier, despite concerns about his finishing kick, the horse’s position isn't unfavorable; a clean break and commitment to tracking the pace should see him finish among the frontrunners.
