Four weeks ago, this horse ran impressively over a Sha Tin 1600m course, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run with fast sections. He finished fourth, beaten two lengths, demonstrating good ability. On debut over a Sha Tin 1800m distance this time with a three-pound weight reduction, the distance is not ideal and he has drawn an outside barrier, which isn’t advantageous. Even if capable of taking an early lead, his finishing kick is strong within the group, and trainer/jockey combination appears to have confidence in each other; considered just a trial run.
