Three weeks ago, this horse performed respectably in a straight course race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace. He made a late run to finish fourth, beaten by one and a half lengths. Now switching to Sha Tin over 1200m for his debut at this distance, he will carry an additional three pounds. The increase in trip is expected to suit him, drawing an advantageous inside barrier gives him a good chance. Based on the horse’s ability, he’s definitely a strong contender in this race. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse; his condition appears stable. Although likely to settle towards the rear again, his finishing kick may not be as strong as rivals and trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal.
