Three weeks ago, this horse’s performance over a Sha Tin 1200m was below expectations, settling in a good position tracking the leaders but appearing tired. In a subsequent straight course trial, he will carry one pound more weight this time and faced unfavorable times within his group, displaying a weak finishing kick. The current form is not ideal, trainer-jockey combination lacks synergy, although capable of following the pace setters, barrier draw is favorable. Lyle Hewitson takes the ride, with hopes that the jockey will gain better understanding of the horse’s capabilities, but chances appear slim.
