CARRYON SMILING

Five weeks ago, this horse delivered a standout performance over a Sha Tin 1600m course, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run with fast sections. In its latest trial over Sha Tin 1400m, it will carry one pound less weight this time but is expected to be held up in running. However, the finishing kick was not as strong as its rivals, creating an unfavorable situation. Despite having some records at this distance and comparable section times within the group, the trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal, and it’s not considered a leading contender for this race.
