Four weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a long distance at Happy Valley, settling in a good position tracking the leaders but tiring badly. He then trialed over 2000m on the Sha Tin turf. This time he carries no additional weight and draws an inside barrier against comparable times. Matthew Poon takes the ride, understanding the horse’s weaknesses; despite needing to be held up this race, his finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals. The form isn't ideal, and trainer-jockey rapport is lacking.
