FLASH CURRENT

Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1600m race, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a strong finish. He has since trialed over 1400m at Sha tin and will carry one pound more weight this time. He has shown some form over this distance previously, with comparable times to rivals. Drawing an inside barrier, the strategy is to settle back in the field, relying on a strong finishing kick – which is his strongest attribute compared to other horses in the same group. The favorable barrier and jockey change to Harry Bentley suggest potential for improvement as horse and rider are well-suited.
