POSITIVE SMILEThree weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin 1400m, with a slow jump and settling towards the back. It showed good acceleration in the middle stages and maintained a strong gallop. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley mile with a two-pound weight reduction, the distance increase is expected to suit. The tactics will be to settle towards the back and rely on a strong finishing kick, which appears to be the best within the group. While the jockey has some understanding of the horse’s ability, the barrier draw is unfavorable and the trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal, suggesting they may need to conserve resources.
