LADY'S CHOICE

Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a straight course race, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with an even pace but lacking any noticeable acceleration. Dropping back in class for another trial over Sha Tin’s 1200m, he will carry six pounds more this time which isn't ideal. Despite having six wins from twenty-six starts at this distance, the competition is relatively close and drawing a favorable barrier offers potential to lead. Preparation has been thorough, but remains an unlikely contender in this race.
