This season’s debutant. Following a trial over Sha Tin 1200m, this horse will carry six pounds less this time and benefits from an inside draw despite being instructed to settle back in the field. It displayed strong finishing speed within its group and has a favorable setup. Based on current form, it's relatively competitive; Ellis Wong takes the ride with some familiarity of the horse’s capabilities. Pre-race warm-up showed effort, but section times weren’t impressive, and trainer-jockey synergy appears limited—expect a hold-up tactic.
