Two weeks ago, this horse ran prominently over a Sha Tin 1600m course, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making good late ground in fast sections. He finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths. Now stepping up in class, he will trial over a Happy Valley 1800m distance this time with an eight-pound weight reduction. The sectionals within the group are reasonable, drawing a favorable barrier. Expecting to settle back early, showing a strong finishing kick after good preparation, and could be a surprise contender.
