SOLEIL FIGHTER

Two weeks ago, this horse settled in a good position tracking the leaders over Sha Tin’s 1400m but faded noticeably. Stepping up in class, he will now try Sha Tin’s 1600m again with an eleven-pound weight reduction and an advantageous barrier draw offering potential for an early lead. Connections are anticipating a strong showing as the horse is improving with each run, despite three previous defeats over this distance. A clean break and commitment to leading from the start could see him return to form.
