Two weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1600m distance, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong run to finish second, beaten two and a half lengths. Now stepping up to a Sha Tin 1800m for the first time, he carries only a 2lb penalty this race. The increased distance is expected to suit, requiring a hold-up tactic with a strong finishing kick which should make him competitive within the field. His barrier draw looks favorable and both jockey and trainer appear confident in his ability; he’s expected to show his true potential.
