STERLING WONGCHOYTwo weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1200m, jumping moderately and settling towards the rear before finishing with a strong run. Another trial over a Happy Valley mile, carrying two pounds less this time, drawn in a favorable barrier. Expected to settle back in the field with a powerful finishing kick being the strongest in its group; looks well-positioned. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. Despite potentially slow sectionals anticipated, trainer and jockey combination isn't ideal, but a good performance would not be surprising.
