HEROIC MASTER

On October 16th, a dirt trial over 1050m at Conghua saw the horse settle tracking the leaders and win comfortably under urging. On August 29th, a turf trial over 1000m at Conghua showed it racing along the rail maintaining a consistent pace. Returning after a spell, this is its seasonal debut. Two trials have been completed showing slight improvement. Making its Hong Kong debut in a Happy Valley sprint, it benefits from a four-pound weight reduction. Despite having two previous wins over this distance, the overall time of its group isn’t exceptional and a hold-up tactic will be employed relying on a strong finishing kick which is considered the best within the field. Trainer and jockey have a reasonable working relationship, but drawing a poor barrier is unfavorable.
