BOTTOMUPTOGETHER

Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m turf race, leading early but tiring badly in the middle stages. Now stepping up in class and trialing on the straight course, he will carry an additional eight pounds this time. He has previously won twice at this distance, with comparable times to rivals in this field. He looks capable of taking the lead, drawing a good barrier, and appears primed for a forward run; success hinges on a clean break and an assertive push for the front position.
