JOLLY JUMPER

Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over Sha Tin 1400m. He broke slowly and settled towards the rear before making good ground in the final two sections with quick times. Now stepping up to Sha Tin 1600m for his first attempt at this distance, he will carry an additional six pounds. Although the distance suits, he has the capability to track the leaders or even challenge for the lead, the outside barrier draw is unfavorable and a finishing kick is questionable; a trailing position is recommended.
