COPARTNER PRANCE

Three weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Sha Tin 1400m, taking the lead easily and showing good acceleration in the middle stages while maintaining a strong pace. He finished second, beaten by only half a length – a respectable performance. Now moving up in class for his first attempt at a Sha Tin mile, he benefits from a 19-pound weight reduction. The distance should suit him, and he has the potential to track the leaders. Despite drawing an outside barrier, with good preparation and a clean break, he is expected to secure a forward position.
