Two weeks ago, this horse ran over a Happy Valley mile, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear but maintaining a steady pace without showing a strong burst. Now dropping back in class, he will trial on Sha Tin turf over 1800m this time carrying an additional 15 pounds. The sectionals were reasonable compared to other horses in the same group, drawing an inside barrier, and is expected to settle towards the rear again with a potentially powerful finishing kick – making for favourable conditions. The jockey understands how to ride the horse, so a good performance would not be surprising.
