Four weeks ago, over a Sha Tin 1400m, the performance was poor; led comfortably with an even pace but lacked a finishing burst. On debut at Happy Valley over 1200m, this horse is allocated a 5lb weight increase for this race and the distance should suit. He has drawn a good barrier and can track the pace. Possessing the strongest finishing kick in the field, he appears to have an advantageous position. Based on relative ability, he’s the leading contender in this event. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, demonstrating some understanding of the horse's capabilities following diligent work. A clean jump is crucial; if he breaks well and tracks the leaders, a forward placing is achievable.
