SNOWTHORN

Three weeks ago, over a Sha Tin 1200m race, the performance was unremarkable. A slow jump led to settling back in the field before making a mid-race move, but lacked stamina to finish strongly. Another trial over Happy Valley’s 1200m this time with a six-pound weight reduction; however, the horse has three previous defeats on this course and distance. Poor barrier draw and lack of favorable timing within the group. Expected to settle back again in this race, but finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals, making for an unfavorable position. However, surprisingly AI predicts a potential improvement and opportunity to showcase its true ability.
