Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He showed good acceleration in the middle stages, covering the last two sections strongly and maintaining momentum. This time, he carries no additional weight, with favorable timing within his group and an advantageous barrier draw. Compared to other competitors, he possesses a clear strength advantage. Matthew Poon takes the ride, and the horse-jockey combination appears promising following recent stable work indicating maturity and improvement. Despite three previous losses over this course, a hold-up tactic is planned for this race; however, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals, and trainer-jockey synergy is questionable.
