LUCKY ARCHANGELTwo weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m, jumping slowly and settling at the rear with an even pace but lacking any significant acceleration. He finished fourth. Now stepping up to a Sha Tin 1400m for his first attempt at this distance, he benefits from a one-pound weight reduction. The increased distance is expected to suit him and the barrier draw looks favorable. Though the jockey understands how to control the pace, he may need to settle towards the back, but lacks the finishing kick of rivals; trainer/jockey combination isn’t ideal, making this horse one to watch carefully.
