Starting June 12th, this horse showed sharp acceleration in a dirt trial over 1200m, finishing strongly to win. Five weeks ago, he ran well over a Happy Valley mile, taking the lead and demonstrating strong stamina to finish second, beaten by half a length. A recent barrier trial indicated improvement. He’s stepping up in class for this race, returning to Sha Tin over 1200m on turf. Benefiting from a 14-pound weight reduction and with proven form at this distance, he is expected to settle comfortably tracking the leaders. His finishing kick is among the strongest in the field, giving him an advantageous position. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, and trainer-jockey rapport appears good; the horse is improving with each run and looks capable of leading the charge.
