Seven days ago, this horse performed poorly in a 1200m dirt trial, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with an even pace but no noticeable acceleration. Racing again after two weeks in a Sha Tin 1200m turf trial, he will carry a 2lb weight reduction and has drawn an outside barrier, necessitating a hold-up tactic. However, his finishing kick was not as strong as rivals, presenting a disadvantageous situation. The horse recorded respectable times within its group, and trainer-jockey communication is positive; opportunity remains possible.
