One month ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1400m course, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He made a mid-race effort but faded badly to finish well back. In a subsequent trial at Happy Valley over 1200m, he benefits from a three-pound weight reduction this time, however, has failed to win in five attempts at this distance. Drawing an unfavourable barrier presents a challenge, though the overall race timing is positive. The horse requires a hold-up strategy and boasts the strongest finishing kick among its rivals, so should not be underestimated.
