Seven days ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1400m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before finishing strongly. Racing again in two weeks with a dirt mile trial, he carries no additional weight this time and has good section times within the group. He is expected to settle back in running position with the strongest finishing kick among his peers. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride; horse and jockey are a good fit, and trainer and jockey have a reasonable working relationship – suggesting they may be saving something for this race.
