Three weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1400m, slow to jump and settling towards the rear with a steady pace but lacking any significant acceleration. He finished well-beaten. Having lost twenty-one pounds in body weight, he trialled again over Sha Tin 1200m and will carry a three-pound deduction this time. His trial time was slower compared to others in the group and drawing an outside barrier presents a disadvantageous situation, reducing his chances.
