NEWBORN MIRACLE

Two weeks ago, this horse delivered a poor performance over a Sha Tin 1600m turf race, settling in a good position tracking the leaders at an even pace but failing to show any acceleration. Another trial over Sha Tin 1400m sees the horse with a five-pound weight reduction, competitive sectionals within the group and the ability to track the pace setters. Capable of following the front runners and possessing strong finishing kick amongst its peers. Favourably positioned for this race, appearing as a genuine contender; Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse's capabilities. A clean jump is crucial, but if it breaks well and settles in a forward position, a place within the top finishers appears likely.
