MARVEL AND GOLD

Six weeks ago, this horse performed well in a straight course race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace but showing a late run. Now switching to Sha Tin over 1200m for its debut at this distance, it will carry an additional three pounds this time. The increase in distance is expected to suit, and drawing an inside barrier is advantageous. Despite potentially having to settle towards the back again, its finishing kick may not be strong enough against rivals, presenting a disadvantageous situation requiring effort.
