Two weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1800m race, taking the lead easily with a steady pace but lacking a finishing surge. He finished eighth, beaten three lengths. Another trial was conducted over Happy Valley’s 1800m, and he will carry no additional weight this time. However, he has failed to win in seven attempts at this distance, and faces strong competition from horses with faster times. The barrier draw is favorable, and the jockey/trainer combination appears to be working well. If he jumps cleanly and secures an early lead, a forward position is achievable.
