DRACO

Six days ago, this horse delivered a very impressive performance over Sha Tin 1600m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run with fast sections. He is stepping back to Sha Tin over 1400m following a two-week break with a one-pound weight reduction. While the sectionals were not significantly slower than its rivals, it drew an unfavorable outside barrier requiring a hold-up tactic; however, the finishing kick may not be as strong as opponents and the current positioning is not ideal.
