TIME TO FIRE

Two weeks ago, this horse put in a decent performance over Sha Tin’s 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making progress in the middle stages with a good sustained effort. Now stepping up to 1400m on the turf for the first time, he benefits from a two-pound weight reduction but has drawn an unfavorable outside barrier. The plan is to settle back in this race, however, his finishing kick may not be strong enough against rivals and the situation appears challenging, though the distance should suit him and potential remains."
