Four weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1400m course, settling in a good position tracking the leaders at a steady pace but being pressured by the frontrunner. Switching to Happy Valley over 1200m for its first attempt at this distance, it benefits from a two-pound weight reduction and the distance is expected to suit. It has the ability to track the leading pace setters, can be positioned forward and draws a favorable barrier. The finishing kick appears to be the strongest in its group, and overall form is good. Compared to other contenders, this horse possesses a clear advantage in terms of ability. Preparations have been thorough and with a clean break, it should be able to maintain a forward position.
