Four weeks ago, this horse performed satisfactorily over a Happy Valley mile, tracking the leaders and making a mid-race move but failing to sustain it to the finish, finishing third beaten two and a half lengths. Now stepping up to 1800m at Happy Valley for its first attempt at that distance, he carries no additional weight. He’s expected to challenge for the lead with a favorable barrier draw and appears in good form. Angus Chung takes the ride, demonstrating understanding of the horse's capabilities, and preparation has been thorough. Despite potential distance concerns and a less-than-ideal trainer pairing, a clean break should see him forwardly positioned and capable of running among the leaders.
