SUPER ELITE

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a decent race over Sha Tin 1200m, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He made a mid-race move, launching an effort to close on the leaders. In a subsequent trial at Happy Valley over 1200m, he will carry two pounds less this time, drawing a favorable barrier. The tactics are again to settle back in the field, but his finishing kick is promising and the form looks good. Compared to other contenders, he possesses a higher level of ability. Andrea Atzeni takes the ride, demonstrating some understanding of the horse’s capabilities. Despite inconsistent timing from within the stable and a less harmonious trainer-jockey relationship, he could be worth considering as an outsider."
