Three weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1200m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a strong pace and finishing fourth. He was beaten two and a half lengths. Having trialled again over a Happy Valley 1200m, he benefits from a one-pound weight reduction this time and has the potential to track the leading pace. The barrier draw is favorable, offering a good opportunity. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, demonstrating some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. Despite showing a time difference within the stable, his finishing kick may be lacking, and the trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal. A clean jump should see him settle in a forward position and contend for a place.
