MUSANG KING

Two weeks ago, this horse delivered a poor performance over a Sha Tin 1600m distance, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with an even pace but showing no finishing kick. He was comprehensively defeated. Switching to a Sha Tin 1800m race now for his first attempt at this trip, he benefits from a five-pound weight reduction and has drawn an outside barrier. His finishing kick was lacking in the last run, presenting a challenging scenario; however, the distance appears suitable, allowing him to maintain a good position tracking the leaders and showing potential.
