Three weeks ago, this horse ran poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m turf race, jumping slowly and settling at the back. He made a mid-race move but faded badly, finishing well-beaten. Switching to a Happy Valley 1200m race now for his first attempt at this distance, he benefits from a four-pound weight reduction but the trip is unfavorable and drew a poor barrier. Even with potential to track the pace, it’s best to observe one run before assessing its chances.
