LUCKY MAN

Three weeks ago, this horse ran well over a Happy Valley 1200m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace. He made a good effort to close but was beaten by one and a half lengths for fifth place. Returning to Sha Tin over 1400m this time with a one-pound weight reduction, he has proven form over this distance and recorded the fastest time amongst his competition group. A hold-up tactics is expected, possessing a strong finishing kick; the horse appears to have a competitive edge relative to other runners. Trainer and jockey are confident in each other’s abilities, with gatework observed prior to racing, making him a noteworthy contender.
