LUCKY XANDER

A month ago, this horse ran disappointingly over a Sha Tin 1200m turf race, with a slow jump and settling at the rear. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, it lacked a strong finish. Reappearing in two weeks, dropping down in class to contest a Sha Tin 1400m turf track for the first time. He will carry an additional fourteen pounds this race and has drawn an outside barrier. The plan is to settle at the rear again, but his finishing kick was not competitive enough against rivals. While the distance appears suitable, opportunities may be limited.
