BIGTIME GENERATION

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin 1200m, settling in a good position tracking the leaders at a steady pace, but was unable to match the strong finishing effort of the runner-up, securing third place beaten by half a length. Now stepping up to Sha Tin 1400m for its debut at this distance and racing without any additional weight, despite drawing a favorable barrier, it is expected to track the pace with a decent finishing kick. The horse's form appears sound, but there are concerns regarding suitability to this trip and trainer-jockey compatibility; likely to be running from behind. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, having some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities.
