Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over a Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a fast late run to finish third, beaten by one and a half lengths. Another turf trial over 1200m at Sha Tin is on the cards now with only a one-pound weight increase, drawing an advantageous inside barrier. The plan is again to settle back in the field, relying on a strong finishing kick—the horse has shown good speed compared to its rivals. Zac Purton takes the ride this time; both jockey and trainer appear confident. Despite three previous defeats over this distance, the comparable times suggest it could rediscover its true form.
