KINGLY DEMEANOR

Two weeks ago, this horse impressed in a Happy Valley 1800m race with an all-the-way victory. Now stepping up in class, he will try the longer distance at Happy Valley again this time with a 15lb weight reduction. He has proven records on this track and holds the best time among his competition. Capable of tracking the leaders, he can potentially contest for the lead from the start, drawing a good barrier position and enjoying favorable circumstances. Based on the horse's ability, he is considered the strongest contender in this race. Angus Chung takes the ride, demonstrating some understanding of the horse’s capabilities; trainer and jockey have a decent rapport. The training sessions were sufficiently vigorous, displaying maturity and improvement in recovery. A clean jump should allow him to settle well and comfortably secure a forward position.
