SMILING EMPERORLast run winner, three weeks ago this horse ran well in a Happy Valley mile, jumping slowly but settling back and finishing strongly to take the win. Stepping up in class for its debut on Sha Tin turf over 1800m, it benefits from a sixteen-pound weight reduction and draws a favorable barrier with opportunity to lead. Based on its ability compared to other contenders, it appears superior. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities. Despite concerns about the distance and a potentially limited trainer-jockey synergy, a clean break and commitment to an early pace should see it perform well.
