HAPPY TOGETHER

Three weeks ago, this horse ran very impressively over a Sha Tin 1400m course, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before making a strong late run with fast sections. He finished third, beaten by only half a length, demonstrating high potential. Now stepping up in class to race again over a Sha Tin 1600m track, he benefits from a 20-pound weight reduction this time. Having previously secured three wins at this distance and holding competitive times within the group, a hold-up tactic is anticipated with a strong finishing kick expected. Trainer and jockey maintain good synergy, training has been vigorous, and the horse appears to be improving in its final gallops, suggesting a likely victory.
