PERFECT PAIRING

Two weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1800m distance, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It showed effort in the middle stages but failed to close the gap and finished well-beaten. In its latest trial at Happy Valley over 1800m, it carries no additional weight this time and recorded good sectionals. Drawing a favourable barrier suggests a hold-up tactic is likely, with a strong finishing kick expected within the group; worth considering.
