Two weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin 1800m, jumping slowly but settling back in the field with a steady pace before finishing strongly to win. Another trial over Happy Valley 1800m is completed, and he will carry five pounds more weight this time around. He’s drawn favorably and should be able to settle in a good position tracking the leaders; his relative strength makes him the strongest contender in this race. Trainer and jockey are working well together, training has been positive and mature with evident improvement, increasing his chances of defending his title.
