Four weeks ago, this horse ran impressively over a Sha Tin 1200m, with a slow jump but finishing strongly in the final two sections. Now trying dirt for the first time over 1200m, he benefits from a one-pound weight reduction. The distance is expected to suit, and an inside barrier draw is advantageous. He's likely to settle back in the field relying on a strong finishing kick – considered the best in his group. Derek Leung takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. Despite a potentially unfavorable setup, trainer-jockey synergy isn’t ideal, but still capable of a powerful performance.
