Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1400m race, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It showed strong early pace but faded significantly to finish well-beaten. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley 1800m for its debut, it benefits from a three-pound weight reduction and draws a favorable barrier. The tactics are expected to be hold-up, with a strong finishing kick anticipated within the field. Jockey Keagan De Melo takes the ride, understanding the horse’s temperament. Despite the distance increase being unfavourable, the overall situation is not ideal, and there appears to be limited synergy between trainer and jockey, making it a rough each-way chance.
