ROMANTIC FANTASY

Three weeks ago, this horse performed well over a Sha Tin 2000m distance, with a slow jump but settling towards the rear. He made a good move in the middle stages and maintained a steady gallop. In its most recent trial at Happy Valley over 1800m, it will carry five pounds less this time. The timing of its group is not favorable, and the trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal. However, the horse has the ability to lead, has secured a good barrier draw, and with Angus Chung taking the ride, the jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities. As long as it jumps cleanly and commits to an early pace, finishing in the top positions should be achievable.
