Three weeks ago, over a Sha Tin 1800m race, the performance was below expectations; slow jump and settled at the rear. A strong finishing two-section burst saw him finish fourth, beaten only by one and a half lengths, demonstrating good ability. First attempt over Sha Tin 2000m this time with a three-pound weight reduction. The distance should suit, trainer and jockey are working well together, however, requires a hold-up tactic. Finishing kick is currently inferior to rivals, the situation isn't ideal and a slow start is anticipated.
