A month ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1800m distance, with a slow start and settling towards the rear. It showed an effort in the middle stages but faded badly, finishing well-beaten. In a subsequent Happy Valley staying test, it benefits from a one-pound weight reduction this time, with good sectionals recorded in its group and drawing a favorable barrier. The strategy is to settle back early, relying on a strong finishing kick, and the horse appears eager to perform.
