MAX QUE

Four weeks ago, this horse delivered an excellent performance over a Sha Tin 1600m race, jumping slowly but settling in last before making a strong late run with fast sections. He finished third, beaten by just one length. Now stepping up to a Happy Valley mile this time with a four-pound weight increase and drawing a favorable barrier, the plan is again to settle back in the field and rely on a finishing kick—a strength compared to others in the race. Based on this horse’s ability, he's definitely a strong contender. The trainer and jockey have a good rapport, and despite potentially unfavorable distance and conditions, they believe he can bounce back.
