Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over a Happy Valley mile, jumping slowly but settling back in the field before making a fast run in the final two sections to finish third, beaten by only half a length. Now stepping up to 1600m on the Sha Tin turf for the first time, he carries an additional two pounds this race, a distance expected to suit. The tactics will be to settle back and rely on a finishing kick, which is his strength compared to rivals in the group. Trainer and jockey appear well-suited, and despite drawing an outside barrier, there’s still potential for a good showing.
