Two weeks ago, over Sha Tin 1400m, a slow jump saw the horse settle towards the rear but showed good recovery. Another trial was conducted over Happy Valley’s shorter distance; this time with a two-pound weight reduction and an unfavorable barrier draw. The finishing kick was lacking, making for a less than ideal scenario, although recording the fastest time amongst its group suggests it can track the leaders effectively and hold position. Based on relative ability, it is the strongest contender in this race – provided it jumps cleanly and settles well to maintain a forward position.
