Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1400m race, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before showing a strong late run. In another turf trial over 1600m, he benefits from a two-pound weight reduction this time, with comparable times to his group. The plan is again to settle at the back and rely on a strong finishing kick, which is considered one of the strongest in the field. An advantageous draw and jockey Matthew Poon taking the ride – a good pairing – suggest potential for redemption.
