ORIENTAL TYCOON

Three weeks ago, this horse ran over 2000m on the Sha Tin turf and jumped slowly, settling towards the rear but maintaining a steady pace without showing a strong finish. He then trialed over 1400m on the turf again. This time he carries no additional weight but has failed to win in six attempts at this distance. The sectionals are comparable with other horses in the same class and drew an unfavorable outside barrier. Despite late gate work, prospects for a strong performance appear limited.
