LADY'S CHOICE

Two weeks ago, this horse put in a poor performance over a Sha Tin 1200m turf race, taking the lead easily with an even pace but lacking any impressive sections. Now stepping up in class to a straight course race, he benefits from a twelve-pound weight reduction and has drawn a favorable barrier, offering opportunities to dictate the pace. Morning trackwork shows improvement; a clean break should allow him to challenge for a forward position without difficulty.
