Two weeks ago, this horse put in a dismal performance over Sha Tin’s 1600m, tracking the leader but fading significantly in the middle stages and finishing well-beaten. A subsequent trial over 1800m at Sha Tin sees him needing to carry two pounds more this time. He has failed to place in four attempts at this distance, with unfavorable comparative times against rivals. The trainer-jockey combination isn’t ideal, despite drawing a good barrier and potentially being able to lead. A jockey change to Lyle Hewitson offers some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, but he is not considered a strong contender for this race.
