HONG LOK GOLFOn September 19th, a dirt trial over 1200m showed moderate effort throughout, with limited acceleration in the straight (finished 2nd-2nd-5th). On September 5th, another dirt trial over 1200m saw a slow start and being positioned awkwardly, showing only average drive in the final stages (finished 8th-8th-7th). This horse is returning from a spell and making its seasonal debut. Two barrier trials have been completed, but it hasn’t kept pace with the required progress. Returning to Sha Tin turf over 1400m, it will carry an additional seven pounds this time. It has two previous wins at this distance and benefits from good timing with other runners; drawing an inside barrier is favorable, requiring a hold-up strategy. The finishing kick is expected to be the strongest in its group, enjoying a positive race shape. Based on its ability, it's considered the leading contender in this event. The jockey has some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, and trainer/jockey relationship is strong; morning trackwork indicates improvement, suggesting another victory is likely.
