Three weeks ago, this horse delivered an outstanding performance over a Sha Tin 1400m course, jumping slowly but settling back in the field before making a strong late run with fast sectionals. Now stepping up to a Sha Tin mile for its debut at this distance and carrying one extra pound, the trip should suit. Drawing an inside barrier suggests a hold-up tactic will be employed, boasting a powerful finishing kick within the group. Compared to other contenders, it possesses a clear strength advantage; the jockey understands the horse’s temperament well and is conserving energy.
