Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over a Sha Tin 1200m race, with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He made an effort in the middle stages but faded noticeably. In a recent trial at Happy Valley over 1200m, he benefits from a three-pound weight reduction and recorded comparable times to his peers, showing potential to track the leaders. With a favourable barrier draw, despite a lack of finishing kick, connections believe a clean break and an intent to follow the pace should see him finish in the forward pack.
