Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m distance, taking the lead with a steady pace but lacking a strong finish. He finished fifth, beaten two lengths. Now dropping back in class to race at Happy Valley over a sprint distance, he will carry an additional 19 pounds this time. He has previous form over this course and distance and good times within his group; drawing a favorable barrier suggests a hold-up tactic with a strong finishing kick. The horse holds a clear advantage in this race, the jockey has some understanding of its capabilities, and is considered a leading contender.
