DAY DAY VICTORY

Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m turf track, slow to jump and settling towards the rear with an even pace but lacking a finishing burst. Returning to Happy Valley for a sprint race, he will carry one pound more this time. He has two previous wins at this distance and benefits from good timing within the group, drawing a favorable barrier. The strategy is to settle towards the back of the field, anticipating a strong finishing kick; based on his ability compared to other contenders, he appears to be ahead of the competition. Alexis Badel takes the ride, forming a promising horse-jockey combination, with positive work reports and a confident approach to securing a forward position.
