Three weeks ago, this horse ran a disappointing race in the straight course sprint, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace but lacked any impressive sections and finished poorly. Switching to Sha Tin over 1200m now for his first attempt at this distance, he will benefit from a two-pound weight reduction. However, the distance is not considered ideal, and despite late gate work, it’s being treated as a barrier trial run.
