Five weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1400m race, with a slow start and settling towards the rear. He made an effort in the middle stages but faded significantly. In a recent trial over a Sha tin 1600m course, he enters this race without any weight reduction, facing unfavorable timing within his group and drawing an outside barrier. While the positioning isn’t ideal, he is capable of settling well to track the leaders; trainer and jockey have good communication, making it a potential longshot contender.
