Four weeks ago, this horse performed to a satisfactory level over Sha Tin 1400m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders and making a mid-race move but failing to sustain it to the finish. Last start at Happy Valley over 1200m, he will carry 17 pounds more this time. The sectional times were reasonable, drawing a favorable barrier, suggesting a hold-up tactics. Finishing kick was decent. Derek Leung takes the ride, with the jockey having some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, however, despite an unfavorable situation and trainer-jockey combination not being ideal, there is potential for a surprise performance.
