LAHORE

Six days ago, in a straight course race, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear. It showed a strong finishing move to take third place, beaten by only one length. Now stepping up to Sha Tin over 1200m after a two-week break, it carries just a 1lb penalty and is expected to challenge for the lead. Showing the strongest finishing kick in its class, the horse has an advantageous draw. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, and trainer/jockey partnership is strong. Despite the distance potentially not being ideal, a clean break should allow it to secure a forward position and contend for a place."
