CAN'T GO WONG

Seven days ago, this horse performed well over a Happy Valley 1800m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before finishing strongly to take second place, beaten by half a length. Racing again in two weeks over a longer distance at Happy Valley, it will carry four pounds more this time with unfavorable timing against its rivals. A hold-up tactic is expected, but its finishing kick may not be strong enough for victory; despite a good barrier draw, the overall situation looks challenging.
