GENIUS BABY

Three weeks ago, over a Sha Tin 1200m turf race, the performance was decent. A slow jump led to settling towards the rear, maintaining a steady pace but with a good late surge. He finished seventh, beaten two and a half lengths. Last start, he raced again over a Happy Valley 1200m course. This time he needs to carry 17 pounds more weight, with favorable timing against his rivals and drawing a good barrier. Considering his relative strength, even if forced to settle towards the rear in this race, his finishing kick may not be as strong as some opponents, making his chances uncertain, but still capable of an upset.
