SANTORINI

Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a straight course race, slow to jump and settling towards the rear with an even pace but lacking a finishing burst. Dropping back in class for another try over Sha Tin’s 1400m, it will carry an additional 16 pounds this time, facing unfavorable competition times and drawing an outside barrier which impacts its finishing kick. Despite these challenges, it appears capable of taking the lead; provided a clean break, a forward run to secure a prominent position is anticipated.
