TOP TIME

Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance over Sha Tin 1400m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders before making a fast run during the final two sections to secure third place, beaten by only two lengths. Returning to Happy Valley over a mile for its last run, it carries just a one-pound weight increase this time. It has previous form over this distance and comparable times within the group. Drawing a favorable barrier, the plan is to settle back in the field and rely on a strong finishing kick. The horse appears to have a clear advantage in terms of ability compared to its rivals, with good synergy between horse and jockey, and continued trust from the trainer, suggesting it has potential to lead."
