Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m race, with a slow start and settling towards the rear. He made a mid-race effort but faded in the final stages. Now stepping up to a Sha Tin 1400m for his first attempt at this distance, he benefits from a two-pound weight reduction, although the distance is not ideal and has drawn an outside barrier. A hold-up tactic is anticipated, however, his finishing kick may not be strong enough against rivals, presenting a disadvantageous situation. Surprisingly, AI algorithms suggest potential, making it worth monitoring.
